Wichita Recordings is very proud to announce not only the signing of London’s Cheatahs in a worldwide deal but also a brand new EP and tour dates for the band.
Having fallen in love with them when we first saw them perform live, supporting Milk Music earlier this year, we were equally enamoured by the recordings they heard and quickly signed them up. The first fruit of this new relationship will be the SANS EP, an electrifying blend of raucous guitars and breathy vocals, honey-dripped with ennui and emotion.
Recorded in London by their bassplayer, Dean Reid, and mixed by Dean and the rest of the band, the SANS EP sees Cheatahs up the ante set by their Coared EP and will maintain their position as much-tipped ones to watch. From opener “The Swan” – which has all the elegance of its subject but rumbles with the firecracker energy of a stampede of rhinos – to its enveloping finale, “Flake”, this release fizzes with the focus of a band who have discovered exactly what they want to do with their music.
