If Anything Happens to the Cat is a five-piece indie orchestra from
Ghent, Belgium. Their music is an unpredictable mix between post-
rock, shoegaze and indie rock. Every song is a journey: through
intertwining layers of guitars and synths, past flashes of vocals and
guest instruments, often culminating into crushingly emotional
climaxes.
In 2012 they recorded a first demo-EP in their rehearsal room. The
band's first studio album 'Sun Drunk Moon' was released on October
9th 2014 at a sold-out release show in one of the biggest clubs in
their hometown Ghent. The album has been described by critics as a
unique, adventurous and technically masterful take on the post-rock
genre.
They recorded the follow-up to this album in the summer of 2016.
‘Mångata’, released September 9th 2017, marks the band’s first
steps into new territories including heavier, more synth-based
arrangements tied together by cohesive lyrical themes dealing with
water, drowning and staying afloat. Stylistically the band took a
different approach than on ‘Sun Drunk Moon’ focusing more on
beefing up their sound, producing a more technical yet more
melodically layered record. The album was recorded at Much Luv
studio with help of producer Tim De Gieter and mastered by Swedish
producer and Cult of Luna-drummer Magnus Lindberg at Redmount
Studios.
Since their first show in 2011, the band toured in Belgium, the
Netherlands, France and Germany. In October 2016, the band was
invited to tour in China. They have had the honour of opening for
bands like Maybeshewill, This Town Needs Guns, LITE, Her Name is
Calla, Immanu El, Our Ceasing Voice and Wild Dogs in Winter.
