Cat Dowling – Animals
Zoo do you think you are?
Kilkenny-born, Dublin-based songsmith Cat Dowling (top) hits the jackpot with a spectacular animated-storybook video for the title track of her new album Animals, released by Forever In Financial Arrears (FIFA) on November 12.
And you can see her discuss the artistic process behind the collaboration with animator Marc Corrigan here.
Cat writes:
“Animals was written when everyone was sleeping. It started with the driving repetitive rhythm which had to be restrained so as not to wake a soul. It thus became hypnotic. It starts as minor and ends up major. It’s about the major and minor of life and of love and the constant pull in everything between major and minor and the light and the dark. It’s a song ultimately of passion, wildness, sensuality and love.”
Nick says: Animal magic.
