Cat Empire Mixtape

Just a quick post before I go to work, with an Artist Mixtape of the Cat Empire, Australia's answer to the high-flying subgenre of reggae / ska / jazz / funk-fusion.

Although it may seem short, the Cat Empire are renowned for delving into long, apparently improvised breakdowns and bridges, and so their songs often grace the 6-minute mark. As such, at only ten songs this playlist nonetheless reaches the full 45-minutes, along the way showcasing their exceptional talent in world-conscious songwriting and sublime musicianship.

2. The Car Song (Two Shoes)
3. One Four Five (The Cat Empire)
