MONSTER CAT has shaken Singapore up with the delicate instrumentation and intense imagery that belies their releases. Layered harmonies evoke the supernatural, as fractured love songs cradle listeners between the depths of intimacy and menace.
In 2011, MONSTER CAT released their debut EP Mannequins, which reached listeners in over 198 countries. In a few short years, the Singapore-based band has been voted Artist Of The Week on MTV’s global indie music site, opened for UK livewire act the Noisettes, recorded with Steve Lillywhite (U2, The Killers, The Rolling Stones) and even earned a shout-out from industry guru Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones).

来自新加坡独立民谣摇滚乐队－MONSTER CAT继2011年出道以来，一直受到乐评人以及来自世界各地歌迷的青睐。他们曾上过MTV全球独立音乐榜、与知名制作人Steve Lillywhite （U2、The Killer、 The Rolling Stones）合作，甚至还受到业界知名人士Bob Ezrin（Pink Floyd、Nine Inch Nails、Deftones）的称赞… 当然这一切都不能说明MONSTER CAT作为亚洲新生摇滚力量的潜力。时髦的节拍、动感十足的吉他效果以及引人入胜的和声，才是他们最有说服力的武器！

关于《觉》音乐＋艺术节
《觉》音乐＋艺术节是由Split Works发起并制作，每年在上海、北京双城齐发的年度音乐＋艺术巨献。2014年即将六岁的《觉》，一直致力于彰显这两座城市中最了不起的本土创意团体，以及来自于世界各地的优秀艺术家和他们无与伦比的作品。最难能可贵的是《觉》是一个注重“圈子”的平台，每年都会有风格各异的音乐人和艺术家加入到《觉》的大家庭，而《觉》就如同调和剂一般把不同的色彩搅拌均匀，使城市、音乐、艺术还有身在其中的人们之都能够融为一体，在不知不“觉”中编织属于自己的艺术篇章。
