🎧 Catatonia, "International Velvet". In 1997, conditions were perfect for Catatonia to make a great album. WB was ready to drop them, they arrived at Glasto to find they'd been cancelled, Cerys Matthews and Mark Roberts broke up, and her drinking was out of control. Say what you will about Rumours and Shoot Out the Lights, but this is one of the best break up/fuck you albums ever made. It's angry, spiteful, beautiful, and unapologetically Welsh.
