About this Event
Starchamber is the shape-shifting second LP by Peter Cat — a darkly glittering art-
pop fever dream that explores guilt, transcendence, and surreality across nine
blistering tracks with a playful theatrical allure. The culmination of a renaissance year
for the Glaswegian outfit, leaving their earlier flirtation with twee indie-pop behind
and trading it for something far more menacing and cinematic, Starchamber
crackles with intent from the start, taking in a plethora of diverse influences across
its 41-minute runtime.
“The overarching theme of Starchamber is guilt, ultimately… It’s about that private
court we all carry within ourselves, that puts us on perpetual trial for all of the
things we’ve done terribly wrong, even though we haven’t done anything wrong to
begin with. That’s what the ‘Starchamber’ is – that place we send ourselves to, to be
judged and punished by ourselves.”
Groovy yet apocalyptic, the album marks a tribute to the surreal spaces we create to
process our inner lives – both a triumphant return and a bold new direction for Peter
Cat.
Support from this show comes from Istanbul-born, Glasgow-based lofi songwriter Onat Önol (whose live band includes ex-Franz Ferdinand drummer Paul Thompson), and whipsmart garage rockers Hound.
