Here's a modern indiepop classic. Cats On Fire are from the western coast of Finland, and they play very Smiths-infused jangle. This is probably the best song on their most recent album, 2009's 'The Province Complains'. It isn't anything very clever, but I can easily get addicted to this kind of thing, and it has racked up a shocking number of spins in my stereo over the last few months. A year or so ago, Cats On Fire were fixtures on the London gig scene, despite still living in Finland, but they don't seem to have done much recently at all - there is a very downbeat biography on their website, which really isn't very optimistic about their future potential as a band, and they haven't played a gig since August. It'll be a massive shame if they don't get back to their previous form, as if they make a new album continuing the improvement the last record had over their debut then they'll definitely become an indiepop big-hitter at some point in the fairly near future.
