This Australian duo calls its music "electronic softrock" with traces of "dreamwave" and "chillwave" -- but it may be more helpful to label
Gypsy & the Cat's debut album, Gilgamesh, as a lush pop record with an '80s-influenced production, full of synth sounds and soft reverb. The record inspired comparisons with everybody from
Fleetwood Mac to
Simon & Garfunkel to
Empire of the Sun and
Real Life. It landed the band a spot as an opening act on
Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite tour and yielded the hit single "Jona Vark." ~ Christian Genzel, Rovi
