Xiong Mao

Xiong Mao, which literally means 'Bear Cat' in Chinese, features eight pop songs about pandas self‐produced and recorded with friend Dave Parker in their bedrooms.

The album is best listened to on headphones while floating in a pit filled with coloured balls, like the ones they used to have at Georgie Pie.

After a two year on and off recording period, Xiong Mao's tracklist encompasses casiotones, Hammond organ, saxophone, violins, trumpets, triangle, omnichord, typewriter, melodihorn, harmonica, glockenspiel and more.

With such stirring ideas, melodies and instruments it's surely not too long before there is a revolution in the
music world. Pretty soon there will be literally millions of panda pop bands, at which point Bear Cat are planning to start playing panda metal. Oh boy, the possibilities!
