Cardiff post punk/indie rock band Silent Forum have unleashed their new single “Cat Pose“, and its accompanying video.
The song is out now via Libertino Records and is the first taste of their upcoming second album, the follow up to their 2019’s debut LP ‘Everything Solved at Once‘. Get it here.
Speaking about it the band say:
“Cat Pose is our “first yoga based song – about self care and mental health. Or Brexit and vegetable samosas”.
Lyrics based on the band’s experience of YouTube yoga tutorials accompany a buoyant, propulsive mix of reflective guitar and dance rhythms, finding the biting point between melancholy and jubilation.

Silent Forum “Cat Pose” Lyrics:
Cat pose
Curved line: lower back to your nose
Stand like a tree
Mountain pose
Welcome to my inner world
It’s pretty loud in here
Richard shut up
Richard shuuuuuut uuuuuuuuuuup
I don’t want to talk or even think about it
I was waiting for the mood to suddenly strike me but
I’ll just sit and wait
My ration book better be blue
My countries’ ego’s black and blue and it’s our own fault
Yesterday I was
Tomorrow will be
Today I am me
Cat pose
Curved line: lower back to your nose
Stand like a tree
Mountain pose
I don’t want to talk or even think about it
I was waiting for the mood to suddenly strike me but
I’ll just sit and wait
None of these songs stand out
And all our photos look amateur
Oh no! My friend’s in a band
What am I supposed to say?
I got off the tube
And ate a vegetable samosa
This is my life
This is my life
I don’t want to talk or even think about it
I was waiting for the mood to suddenly strike me
No resolve I’m stuck in mindless yoga
Adriene and I have secrets we’ll never share
