Fat Cat

Holiday Ghosts is a talented band based in Falmouth, England. Comprised of Samuel Stacpoole, Katja Rackin, Ben Nightingale, and Morgan Lloyd-Mathews, they bring their unique sound to the music scene.

With their roots on the south coast of England, Holiday Ghosts infuse their music with a blend of indie rock and punk influences. Their catchy melodies and energetic performances have captivated audiences across the country.

Samuel Stacpoole's powerful vocals, combined with Katja Rackin's dynamic guitar playing, create a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. Ben Nightingale's skillful bass lines and Morgan Lloyd-Mathews' tight drumming provide a solid foundation for their infectious tunes.

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.

Arriving hot on the heels of acclaimed 2022 EP ‘Credit Note’, Absolute
Reality tackles different themes of social commentary, with fiery lyrics and
hard picked guitars, holding both honest confessions and tall tales, lived
stories and movie-like landscapes. Showcasing the noise and texture that
Holiday Ghosts love from the New York punk scene and New Wave era,
‘Vulture’ cements their flourishing status within the alt-rock scene and lays
down a real marker ahead of their spring LP release.

Between their last album North Street Air, to the present day of Absolute
Reality, the HG’s have rocked iconic stages throughout the UK and Europe,
with notable accomplished slots at the likes of Latitude Festival and Left Of
The Dial, as well as support tours alongside acts including Black Lips, Bodega
and The Bug Club. In addition, they’ve attracted widespread praise across
the press landscape (The Guardian, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, KEXP, DIY,
So Young, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash, Gigwise), and clocked in live sessions/
interviews aplenty of BBC 6 Music with key tastemakers (Steve Lamacq, Mark
Riley).
