The Boxing Lesson loves cats.

Austin-based The Boxing Lesson has been around for a few years now, but I've only just discovered something about them that makes me very happy. Along with being purveyors of tasty synth-heavy psychedelia, they are apparently obsessed with cats. Really, check this out:



That track is off their album that was released last fall entitled (more cat obsession) The Fur State.  You can even visit the "Cats" specific page on their website.


And to go with cats?  Vintagey synths and puns!  Their 2008 album, Wild Streaks & Windy Days, included the awesomely titled "Dark Side of the Moog."  And now, they're back with the longer and more ambient "Darker Side of the Moog."

It's off a new EP, Muerta, to be released in June.  Check out their upcoming shows and follow the band on their Facebook page.
