Review of the 2001 Album with some bio bits from http://www.excellentonline.com/hopethishelps.php3 Some six-odd years ago, a few guys from Iowa started playing around in a basement. With old reel-to-reels and broken PA's littering the floor, they struggled to eek out some kind of fun from the ruins of their failed schooling, lack of beer money, and large collection of Steely Dan and Joni Mitchell records. The result was The Multiple Cat. Things went well, with the group playing to about fifteen adolescent boys and a pie-eyed drunk with a rolled-up bandanna around his head. They howled during the breakdowns in "A Microphone and a Starter Jacket," they conjured the ghost of Ian Curtis (briefly) during "For Bernard." They made a late-coming mother of one of the boys cry with "It's Your Song." A circuit blew. The kids sipped their pop. Now, in the spring of 2001, The Multiple Cat still hunkers in a basement. 3/4 of a new band, they practice material culled from their latest album, "The Golden Apple Hits." A conglomeration (as always) of material from the last few years of recording here and there, this record finds the Cat bouncing around their genre, from show-tunes to slow tunes, from simple pop to art-rock drama.
