Sometimes you do dumb stuff like send your email without testing it and it’s completely black. Bad day at work here in Cataldo HQ. Sending again because I want you to know I made my best record yet and it’s finally time to start sharing it! It’s called “Literally Main Street”. And it’s a new album from Cataldo coming to you soon. The record comes out in the fall and we’re touring all over the place but I couldn’t resist giving everyone a sneak peek before the summer hits. To that end we’re playing one show at the Sunset with a dream bill of: Kyle Morton of Typhoon, Whitney Ballen, and their bands.

A little behind the scenes making this next record at Tiny Telephone from our pal Rachel Demy.

Without getting into too much inside baseball this is a big show for us–I’d be honored if you joined us! We’ll be playing lots of tunes from Keepers and Gilded Oldies alongside some new jams from the forthcoming record. I’m unbelievably proud of these new songs

From the album “Keepers”

Cataldo is the recording project of Seattle musician Eric Anderson. His upcoming album is called “Keepers”, and the track we’re premiering today certainly fits the bill. “Person You’d Be Proud Of” is wistful and hopeful and beautiful, a brightly emotive yet understated slow-build that splits the difference between Anderson associate Ben Gibbard’s pensive indie rock stylings and rhythmically complex pop worthy of an ’80s teen movie’s closing credits. Or as Anderson himself explains it: At some point recording this tune my drummer asked “So…are we going full Gabriel?” As you can hear, we super, super did. This is a song about feeling lucky and wanting to somehow earn your own good fortune.

From start to finish each song on Keepers is better than the last. The first time I heard this album I thought it was an indie pop masterpiece. All year long I just love it more and more. The storytelling in these songs is amazing. Songs like “Little Heartbeat” and “Photograph” will make you dance while songs like “Straight Up Western” and “America, Goodnight!” will make you nostalgic for those friends you got into all of that trouble with.

His new album, Keepers, is due out April 28th via Red Pepper Records/Moon Crew Records.

“‘Photograph’ is a song about rich kids,” Cataldo tells us, “the nature of memory, and the peculiar cocktail of charisma, unfounded confidence, and concealed naïveté that’s common in late adolescence/early adulthood.” Youth is meant to be photographed.
