Cat’s Eyes in the new project of Faris Badwan, The Horrors lead singer/frontman. He teams up with Canadian opera soprano and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Zeffira to create something very different from The Horrors. If you don’t believe me, then get this: Pitchfork reports they played their first show during afternoon mass at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.
On February 28th their debut EP Broken Glass will be released via Polydor. Their self titled debut LP will come out on April 11th in the UK from the same label. It will be released in the US on May 3 via Cooperative Music/Downtown.
Below you can watch a live version of their song “”I Knew It Was Over” that they performed that day. I’m amazed at how lovely it is:
Here’s a free download of “Not A Friend” that the band is offering. Sounds like a mix of Beach Boys and Little Joy.

After hearing these two songs, I’m sold. This project is a really nice surprise. Sounds like these two have created something really pretty and unexpected.

I’m glad that you spend some of your time on music. When you share the world inside of you – other are getting richer with your ideas. Do you compose songs or just is making overviews like this one?
I also would like you to check my small mix of The Lonely Island’s song. Maybe you could give me some points to recast here – http://unry.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-just-had-sex.html
Thank you for your love to music!
