Mountain King Music is proud to announce the full UK
release of When We Were Young, the
debut album by Cat Canteri of acclaimed Australian trio The Stillsons.
When
We Were Young was initially released in Australia
in September 2014. It has received outstanding praise in both the international
press and on radio, with the song ‘See My Bones’ being aired on Bob Harris’ BBC
Radio 2 show.
The album is a rare combination of emotional
vulnerability and musical accomplishment. Canteri’s warm, charismatic vocal
tones deliver her highly personal stories (e.g. anorexia, post-war friendship
in an Australian timber town) with an easy, pop sensibility. When We Were Young is essential
listening for fans of Carole King and
Fleetwood Mac.
Canteri plays drums, guitars, and keyboards on the
majority of the album, with contributions from highly regarded musicians such
as Ben Franz (The Waifs, The Stillsons), Stevie Hesketh (The Drones, Jet), and
Justin Bernasconi (The Stillsons).
When
We Were Young was produced, recorded, and mixed
by ARIA award-winning Craig Pilkington (Archie Roach, Gurrumul) at Audrey
Studios, Melbourne. It was mastered by Adam Dempsey at Deluxe Mastering in
2014.
The Stillsons are a Melbourne based alt.country group,
whose live performances are a must see for any fans of heartbreaking harmonies,
eclectic songwriting, and high calibre guitar playing.
The band features two singers-songwriters, Cat Canteri
(drums) and Justin Bernasconi (guitar). Their third release Never Go Your Way was voted ‘Country
Album of 2013’ in the Rhythms Magazine
(Australia’s premier roots music publication) readers’ poll, as well as receiving
4/5 stars in UK magazine R2 (Rock’n’Reel);
and The Australian (national broad
sheet).
“Canteri
has strength and drive… so you're thinking a 1970s framework of rootsiness and
rockiness… it's a very fine start” Sydney Morning Herald
“It’s
great… sensual, warm and a ting of real quality, recommended” Americana UK 8/10 stars
The song is so sensational and emotional that it actually gives the feels. The music is so perfect and enjoyable. Amazing piece of work!
