Our Take

Welsh pop-rock band Catatonia may be best known for their anthemic hit "Road Rage," but their Clamshell Box set, "Make Hay Not War - The Blanco Y Negro Years," proves that there is so much more to this group than meets the eye. This retrospective collection showcases the band's infectious blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities, capturing their evolution under the Blanco Y Negro label.

From the infectious hooks of "Mulder and Scully" to the melancholic beauty of "You've Got a Lot to Answer For," Catatonia effortlessly weaves together catchy melodies with poignant lyricism. The box set also includes rarities and B-sides that provide a deeper look into the band's creative process.

Lead singer Cerys Matthews' distinctive voice shines throughout the collection, effortlessly shifting from sultry to defiant, adding depth to the band's already eclectic sound. The musicianship displayed on tracks like "Dead from the Waist Down" and "Stone by Stone" highlights the band's versatility and knack for crafting irresistible tunes.

"Make Hay Not War" is a delightful trip down memory lane for long-time fans of Catatonia, while also serving as a perfect introduction for new listeners. Whether you're dancing to the upbeat rhythms or getting lost in the introspective lyrics, this Clamshell Box set is a must-have for any music lover looking to discover the magic of Catatonia's Blanco Y Negro years.
