Mr Cat and the Jackal to release third album

14 May 2014

Mr Cat and the Jackal's the third album, "S3T" has taken nearly three years to record, in three different studios, divided into three themes and titled with three letters: S3T. The album encompasses three themes: love, regret, and doom.

There are absolutely no artificial sounds to be found on this album, only an amalgamation of foreign instruments - some of which are handcrafted by Mr Cat and the Jackal themselves.

Mr Cat and the Jackal are set to tour throughout southern Africa in May, followed by the launch of "S3T" in Cape Town. The tour begins today, 14 May, with performances along the way as the band travels to Mozambique for the STRAB Festival.
