Cat Be Damned is Erik Phillips from Richmond, Vermont. Six Songs is just that, a short and sweet EP made up of six lush ambient tracks. The songs show a surprising amount of variation, from the melancholy Antlers-esque atmospherics of ‘1’ and the peppy bounce of ‘2’ to the floaty geological sound of ‘3’ and ‘5’, sounding like the cries of orbiting bodies, the drone and moan of cosmic traffic. You get the impression that the songs are beginnings, points of entry into a variety of different sounds Phillips will return to and flesh out into fully-realised releases. Consider us excited and waiting.
RIYL: Ambient, Ricky Eat Acid, the sounds of space.
