Elephants, Edible Arrangements, and a New Album: Peter Cat Recording Co.’s “Beta” Reveal”.

Peter Cat Recording Co. is thrilled to announce the release of their upcoming album, “Beta,” which will be available on August 9 through Muddy Water. The first single from the album will be released on May 16, followed by a headlining tour starting in August. Prior to their headlining dates, Peter Cat will join Khruangbin on tour before embarking on their own U.S., U.K., and Europe tour, followed by dates in India.

In a recent Instagram post, the band shared a teaser of the album featuring a video of elephants enjoying an edible arrangement with the album title spelled out in watermelon slices. According to Peter Cat, “Beta” is a collection of stories about the future told as if it were 50 years in the past, to help make sense of the present world we live in. This upcoming album is their first release since 2019’s “Bismillah.”

The title “Beta” was chosen from a list of five potential album names, with drummer Karan Singh’s six-month-old son randomly selecting it. The word “Beta” means “child” in Hindi. Produced by Suryakant Sawhney, Kartik Pillai, and Dhruv Bhola, “Beta” promises to be a blend of indie, bossa nova, jazz, psychedelic, and more genres. Peter Cat Recording Co.’s music draws inspiration from crooner music as showcased in their previous album “Bismillah.”

Sawhney shared in an interview with Variety in April 2023 that the style of singing in crooner music is emotionally powerful and has a masculine appeal. The band’s music captures a sense of grime and honesty that draws from older generations of crooner singers.
