Fat Cat

Glasgow’s C Duncan, born in 1989, is the son of two classical musicians. Surrounded by music throughout his childhood, Christopher initially took up piano and viola. His teens led him to school bands – learning to play guitar, bass and drums – but did little to quell his fascination with the composition and performance of classical music. He eventually enrolled in Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) to study music composition, where his pieces were performed by various ensembles across the UK.
C Duncan's musical style can be described as a unique blend of indie pop and classical influences. Drawing inspiration from artists such as *Teleman*, *Palace Winter*, and *Field Music*, he creates captivating melodies layered with intricate arrangements. With a voice that effortlessly soars over lush instrumentals, C Duncan's songs transport listeners into a world filled with beauty and emotion.
Having released several critically acclaimed albums including "Architect" and "The Midnight Sun," C Duncan has established himself as one of the most talented singer-songwriters in the contemporary music scene. His compositions have garnered praise for their rich harmonies, poetic lyrics, and meticulous attention to detail. Whether performing solo or collaborating with other artists like *Dutch Uncles* or *Gruff Rhys*, C Duncan continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his enchanting soundscapes.

Fat Cat is an electronica, noise, and post-rock label based in Brighton, UK. Originally a record shop in the early '90s, the label was established when the shop closed down in 1997 with support from [l311].

Renowned for their distinctive series of releases such as the "7" Series", "10" Series", "12" Series", "Splinter Series", "Remix Series", and "E-RMX Series," Fat Cat has left a significant mark on the music industry. For more instrumental orchestral-type releases, they also operate a sublabel called [l=130701], named after its inception date: 13 July 2001.

With numerous notable artists under their belt, Fat Cat Records continues to be at the forefront of cutting-edge music production and distribution.

C Duncan's highly anticipated third album, following his Mercury Prize-nominated debut and the critically acclaimed The Midnight Sun sees the Scottish multi-instrumentalist ditch his bedroom studio and work with other producers, engineers, and musicians for the first time. Navigating themes of love, anxiety, and sexuality, Health is a deeply personal record that delves into a world Duncan had previously felt uneasy exploring. Warm and harmonically rich, Duncan delightfully juxtaposes the vibrant and wholesome aesthetic of the album with an often darker lyrical undertone, pushing himself to refine and explore new ways of writing. As the sole protagonist of his self-carved niche, Health sees Duncan evolve and expand its parameters in mesmerizing fashion. Chiming with rippling enchantment, Duncan's vocal harmonies are executed with acute precision. Health has added even more layers while remaining thematically and lyrically laid very bare. Written around the time of the anti-gay purges in Chechnya, He Came From The Sun sees Duncan slow things down and contemplate his own life and experience of coming out. Stuck Here With You keeps the pace going before Care wraps things up, the undulating heartbreak ballad a gentle and somber end to an album packed with fresh ideas and buzzing with invention.
