CATSINGTON started as a personal escape for Jeff Katz, a respected filmmaker and photographer, but quickly evolved into something bigger—both creatively and emotionally. In his Los Angeles apartment, Jeff built the project from scraps of old gear and a desire for control and creative expression after a frustrating film experience. Searching for the perfect voice to complement his own, he connected with Swiss vocalist BhuvanSingh over Instagram. Their collaboration turned into something more, mirroring the themes of love, distance, and heartbreak woven through the music. Alongside bassist Paul Bucholz and drummer Justin Heaverin, CATSINGTON’s debut is a collection of songs born from improvisation, connection, and a fleeting love story that now only exists in the music.
There is an unassuming yet undeniable infectious energy to “Share Well,” CATSINGTON’s latest single. With the warm charm of lo-fi and the freeing nature of experimentation, the band landed on a clunky yet honed sound with hidden grooves, plush vocals, and jangly melodies. Nothing about this performance feels forced, giving the left-field harmonies and nimble drums a natural feeling despite being anything but. This approach makes even the simplest elements of “Share Well” become palpable, but the magical nuances of this tune don’t end there. The lyrics of CASINGTON’s latest come off as vague poetry with wildly vivid imagery, but there is an uplifting undertone to these words. “Share Well” is seemingly centered around the idea of individuality and independence, encouraging the listener to go out and find a slice of happiness, even if it means leaving instant gratification behind. CASINGTON created an all-around fun-loving, blissful piece of indie pop with “Share Well,” which is set to be a part of the band’s upcoming LP, don’t be embarrassed.
“The music and lyrics for ‘SHARE WELL’ were created as a stream of consciousness. The song imagines someone falling from a great height, while a lifetime of memories rushes through their head— growing up, childhood dreams, finding love, and the quiet realization that they didn’t need to try so hard to be accepted,” explains Katz. “In their final moments, clarity comes too late: a longing to have opened up more, and to have shared more of themselves when they had the chance. It’s a bittersweet, slightly cheeky reminder: overshare while you still can. Inspired by The Velvet Underground, Nico, Nancy Sinatra, and Lee Hazlewood.”
