With a name partially referencing Haruki Murakami’s jazz club in Tokyo, Peter Cat Recording Co. trade in a kaleidoscopic blend of gypsy jazz, psychedelic cabaret, space disco, bossa supernova, Bollywood and uneasy listening. It’s an unlikely balance which makes the New Delhi five piece every inch the sonic anomaly in their hometown as how they read on paper. The band beguiled and frustrated in equal measure in 2018, with the release of Portrait Of A Time 2010-2016, an anthology album which gathered together re-mastered versions of various gems from the band’s ramshackle back catalogue, previously recorded in Suryakant’s front room. Whilst the title track found its way onto Tracks Of The Year lists at the Guardian & NME, it was tricky to get a firm grip on the five piece who - despite hailing from the Hindi-speaking capital of India - emerged sounding like a twenty first century big band reboot.

Peter Cat Recording Co. have now released ‘Where The Money Flows’, the latest single to be released from their forthcoming debut album, Bismillah due for release on June 7, via French independent label Panache Records. With debut UK live shows soon to be announced by the New Delhi-based band, the new video for ‘Where The Money Flows’ is streaming below.

Speaking about the video - created in part using footage from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 2016 speech to announce the demonetisation of 1,000 and 500 rupee notes - Peter Cat’s frontman Suryakant Sawhney says; “Since the age of man began, we sat around wondering how best to measure our worth on this planet. After several millennia of debate, we are proud to present: MONEY! IT’S BEAUTIFUL! IT’S LIGHT! IT SMELLS SOOOO GOOD! THERES NO END TO IT! HURRY NOW AND GRAB ALL YOU CAN BECAUSE YOU AND I BOTH KNOW, MONEY IS SOMETHING WHICH WILL SURVIVE, WELL BEYOND THE EVAPORATION OF THE FINAL BLACK HOLE.”

Suicide’s groundbreaking debut album will be given the Art of the Album treatment and reissued on red vinyl, CD and digitally on July 12 via Mute / BMG.

The Art of the Album series aims to give listeners the authoritative release of classic albums. With no extra tracks to distract or bulk up the reissue, the album itself is given the spotlight and for this release, Alan Vega and Martin Rev’s eponymous debut has been remastered and is presented with exclusive photographs and extensive sleeve notes by The Quietus’ John Doran detailing the album’s context, craft and legacy with interviews with many of the players.

‘Ghost Rider’ “takes the American myth of the freedom of the open road and turns it into something mechanically cold and strange.” (The Quietus), with a title inspired by Marvel’s Ghost Rider (and Alan Vega’s love of comic books), Martin explains on the sleeve notes that the track itself was influenced by glam rock.

Originally released in 1977 on the Red Star label, the band were given barely any credit at the time but since it was unleashed into the world, its influence has been incalculable - numerous magazines have included it in their Greatest Albums lists, and the volume of bands they went on to inspire throughout the decades is huge. New Order, Depeche Mode, Bruce Springsteen, Moby, Soft Cell, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Primal Scream and Nick Cave are just a few who have acknowledged their debt to the duo.
