Pekoe Cat is multi-instrumentalist/producer Kyle Woolven. Like the city he comes from (Belleville, Ontario) Woolven is relatively unknown, but that does not stop his drive to create and progress. With the release of his new album in the fall (which is also called “Belleville”), Woolven continues to show that creativity comes first and a fan base comes second . . . or fourth. “I don’t like the idea of creating an entire album of the same song.” On “Belleville” Pekoe Cat’s multiple musical influences are certainly evident. Ranging from Tame Impala, to Neon Indian, to Passion Pit, and even a little bit of The Strokes, Woolven’s refusal to settle on a sound is beginning to form his signature sound.
