Review: Los Angeles trio Catpack, which is made up of Moonchild's vocalist Amber Navran, Jacob Mann and Phil Beaudreau, have delivered a whimsical and heartfelt project with this eponymous album. Featuring 11 tracks including singles 'What I've Found' and 'Walk Away', it embodies a joyful exploration of musical expression rooted in genuine camaraderie and mutual admiration. Navran describes it as "three people with distinct sounds coming together to make something new" while their jazz-influenced r&b blends neo-soul, funk, and electronic elements with quirky synth patches reminiscent of cats meowing. The album's songs, from the assertive 'Walk Away' to the whimsical 'Next To Me', reflect their creative synergy and deep friendship and help make this such a lovely work of sound.
