CAT DOWLING BIOGRAPHY PRESS RELEASE The voice of Cat Dowling has always been lauded as one of the most evocative in Irish contemporary music. Her beautifully dark pop songs and those husky and achingly intimate vocals will grip you from the outset. She gained many admirers for her energy on the live stage and for her hushed and raw deliveries. Comparisons to Liz Frazer, Beth Gibbons, Karen O, Amanda Palmer, Feist and Kristen Hersh have regularly appeared. In 2013, her debut solo album “The Believer” was released to critical acclaim. The opening track “The Believer" featured as a closing track on the groundbreaking second series of Banshee as well as the TV Series “Witches of East End”. “Somebody Else” was featured in ‘My name is Emily’ alongside Lisa Hannigan, Jake Bugg and James Vincent McMorrow. Cat has lent her vocals on many collaborative projects, the most recent of which How to get away with murder featuring Emmy-winning actress Viola Davis. Following a sell-out headline show at The Irish Arts Centre NYC and a very successful East Coast US Tour in April 2017 Dowling completed her follow-up album in the interim. Her new album is both simultaneously stark and lush with an innate authenticity and rawness at its heart. The beautiful ambient and eclectic soundscapes shine throughout however it’s always her arresting vocals that captivate the most. Her first single Trouble will be released on 23 April 2021.
