South London outfit Deptford Sound Collective return with their latest single 'We All Need To Get A Cat', a bright, indie-pop release with a heartfelt story at its core.
Blending jangly guitars, upbeat rhythms and playful melodies, the track leans into a feel-good sound while exploring themes of loss and recovery. Inspired by real events, the song tells the story of a rescue kitten named Aki, who brought a renewed sense of joy to the band following a difficult period.
Lyrically, the single captures the unpredictable and comforting presence of a pet, using humour and everyday moments to reflect on emotional healing. Beneath its light tone, the track also touches on the wider impact of companionship on mental wellbeing.
Known for their community-driven ethos and genre-blurring approach, Deptford Sound Collective continue to balance playful creativity with relatable subject matter. 'We All Need To Get A Cat' follows their earlier releases with a more uplifting direction, offering a reminder of the small, unexpected things that can make a difference.
