The latest tease from Wildcat! Wildcat!’s forthcoming debut album is something that’d work great in a planetarium. “Holloway (Hey Love)” is a constellation of twinkling synths backing a meteor shower of falsetto harmonies, all propelled by a marching beat. The results are lush and almost choral – ever since their early singles, the L.A. outfit of Jesse Taylor, Michael Wilson and Jesse Carmichael has found a way to make twee sound as big as the night sky. It’s generally in the way everything is meticulously layered, and here we imagine the “hey love” chorus raining down on festival crowds of young electro-pop fans. Wildcat! Wildcat’s debut “No Moon at All” is out Aug. 5 via Downtown Records.
