An independent label based in Brighton on England’s South Coast, Fat Cat has nurtured: from divergent forms of electronica to all manner of post rock and indie; downtempo breaks to minimal techno; sparse piano compositions to abstract, explosive noise and angular punk-pop. Perhaps best known for the discovery of artists such as Sigur Rós, Múm, Animal Collective, Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad as well as being instrumental in the re-emergence of Vashti Bunyan.
