Catgod is the musical project of Oxford-based sibling duo Robin Christensen-Marriott and Catherine Marriott. September sees the release of their debut album, Feel It Go Round which is preceded by a double A-side single of tracks including the title track and live favourite Blood.
Feel It Go Round is resplendent with plaintive vocals, lilting rhythms and lyrics of peace and acceptance. The duo evoke a pastoral, hushed reverie, inspired by and recalling luminaries such as Phoebe Bridges and Lamb, and the hazy psychedelia calls to mind legends such as Fairport Convention by way of the eccentric vocal melodies of Kate Bush.

Catgod are planning a UK tour for September 2019 with dates tba. The Feel It Go Round album was recorded in Oxford with a range of musical collaborators from the ever buzzing Oxford music scene, most notably bass player Casper Miles and guitarist Chris Barker who play for Oxfordian troubadour Willie J Healey.
