Our Take
Our Take
Indie rock veterans Catherine Wheel return with their fourth studio album, "Happy Days," and boy, oh boy, are we in for a treat. Packed full of jangly guitars, driving rhythms, and frontman Rob Dickinson's signature wail, this album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for all us 90s kids.
From the shimmering opener "God Inside My Head" to the haunting closer "Electric Man," Catherine Wheel effortlessly blend shoegaze, grunge, and Britpop influences to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Tracks like "Way down" and "Heal" showcase the band's ability to craft catchy hooks and infectious melodies, while the epic "Crank" takes us on a hypnotic sonic journey that will leave you begging for more.
But it's not just about the music – the lyrics on "Happy Days" are introspective and poetic, touching on themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. Dickinson's expressive vocals bring these words to life, drawing the listener in and making them feel every emotion.
Overall, "Happy Days" is a triumph for Catherine Wheel, proving once again why they are among the most underrated bands of their generation. So grab your flannel shirt, put on your Doc Martens, and dive headfirst into this timeless masterpiece. You won't regret it.

About the artist
Catherine Wheel
Catherine Wheel were the unsung heroes of the 90s British indie rock scene, blending dreamy shoegaze with gritty alternative rock to create a sound that was uniquely their own. Led by the enigmatic frontman Rob Dickinson, the band garnered a cult following for their emotive lyrics, swirling guitars, and epic melodies. Hailing from the sleepy town of Great Yarmouth, Catherine Wheel burst onto the music scene in the early 90s with their debut album, "Ferment". Tracks like "Black Metallic" showcased their knack for crafting intricate, atmospheric soundscapes that drew listeners in and refused to let go. As the band's popularity grew, so did their experimentation with sound. Their follow-up albums, "Chrome" and "Happy Days", saw them delving deeper into psychedelic territory, incorporating electronic elements and lush orchestration to create a truly immersive listening experience. Despite critical acclaim and a loyal fan base, Catherine Wheel never quite achieved the mainstream success of their Britpop peers. But for those in the know, their discography remains a treasure trove of sonic delights that stands the test of time. In their heyday, Catherine Wheel were known for their blistering live shows, with Dickinson's impassioned vocals and the band's wall of sound leaving audiences spellbound. And while they may have disbanded in 2000, their music continues to inspire a new generation of artists, proving that good music never goes out of style. Catherine Wheel may have flown under the radar for many, but for those who were lucky enough to discover them, their music remains a lasting testament to the power of creativity and passion in the world of indie rock.
