Gilgamesh

There is no gypsy and there is no cat, but there is a Gypsy & The Cat, an electronic duo who, instead of pumping out house beats and booty-quaking basslines, pen gorgeous mini epics of forlorn beauty and elegiac romanticism that, you can just tell, are about heartache and solitude, past girlfriends and future loss. Funnily, or sorrowfully, enough, Xavier Bacash (who’s no gypsy) and Lionel Towers (who ain’t no cat) did used to pump out house beats and booty-quaking basslines, when they were both working as DJs in Melbourne and had a mutual love of French disco, which is probably why, even at their most exquisitely mournful, you can always dance to Gypsy & The Cat.
