Peter Cat Recording Co.

About

Peter Cat Recording Co., the Delhi-bred collective led by the enigmatic Suryakant Sawhney, doesn't just make music; they craft sonic landscapes that blur the lines between smoky jazz lounges and neon-lit cyberpunk dystopias. Imagine Tom Waits stumbling into a Bollywood film directed by David Lynch – that's a ballpark approximation. Their sound, a heady cocktail of psychedelic cabaret, gypsy jazz, and bedroom pop, defies easy categorization. Early releases, self-recorded and distributed, gained a cult following for their lo-fi charm and Sawhney's distinct, often sardonic, songwriting. The breakthrough came with albums like "Climax" and "Bismillah," which showcased a refined, more ambitious sound while retaining their signature eclecticism. PCRC's live performances are legendary, transforming venues into immersive theatrical experiences. They have collaborated with various artists, and are known for pushing the boundaries of Indian independent music. Recent projects hint at further sonic exploration, suggesting that Peter Cat Recording Co. is far from content with resting on their laurels, continuously challenging their listeners and themselves.
