Indie/lo-fi artist K-9 CAT unveils their latest single, “Madcap,” a track that showcases the artist’s unique sound and creative journey. Written by singer-songwriter Chris Erwin, the song took shape over time, with the first half written long ago and the second half pouring out spontaneously. Originally possessing a folky sound that deviated from Erwin’s typical style, the track was transformed into a fun and upbeat composition by his close collaborator and producer, James Sims of Pinehouse Sound & Design.
K-9 CAT is the solo project of Chris Erwin, who previously fronted the Orlando-based indie-rock band Captains Of April. After relocating to Nashville, Tennessee in 2018, Erwin embarked on this new musical endeavor, aiming to capture the songs that had been stockpiling in his mind for years. With unconventional recording techniques, K-9 CAT offers a unique approach that sets them apart from the mainstream music industry.
“Madcap” is a testament to K-9 CAT’s creative evolution and Erwin’s dedication to crafting music that pushes boundaries. The track seamlessly blends the folk influences of the past with an infectious indie sound that captivates listeners from the first note. Erwin’s collaboration with James Sims resulted in a track that he couldn’t be prouder of, as it encapsulates the essence of K-9 CAT’s artistic vision.
With their recent relocation to The Azores Islands, off the coast of Portugal, K-9 CAT has found a new home for their musical project. The serene surroundings and vibrant energy of the islands serve as a fitting backdrop for their creative endeavors.
“Madcap” serves as a testament to K-9 CAT’s commitment to experimentation and their pursuit of a sound that resonates with a discerning audience. The track is a delightful blend of folk and upbeat indie elements, showcasing Erwin’s songwriting prowess and his ability to infuse his music with infectious energy.
