Private Cathedral are a transatlantic art-pop band dreamed up by multi-instrumentalists Wendy Spitzer and Genevieve Dawson. From North Carolina (USA) and Scotland, respectively, Wendy and Genevieve draw on baroque pop, art-rock, and chamber music to produce a sound that’s at once borderless and unbothered by convention. Their debut offering was recorded by engineer Missy Thangs at Mitch Easter’s Fidelitorium, a legendary NC studio. The self-titled album is joyful, fierce, symbolically dense, and musically ambitious – a show of bravura, a tour de force of fearless friendship, a soundtrack to a mood film that has yet to be made.
Private Cathedral creates music for brainy iconoclasts with big feelings. For lovers of Tune-Yards, My Brightest Diamond, Nick Cave, Cate Le Bon, and Kate Bush.
