CATSINGTON has put out a track that genuinely stops you mid-scroll and makes you want to sit with it for a while. “Many Gears Ago” is one of those rare songs that doesn’t announce itself loudly.

Jeff Katz built this project from the ground up in his LA apartment, and that DIY origin story is somehow audible in the music. There’s a rawness here that no big-budget studio could manufacture. The collaboration with Swiss vocalist Bhuvan Singh is the heartbeat of the whole thing, and their dynamic has a real push-and-pull energy, the kind you can’t fake or force.

The song wrestles with something genuinely relatable: wanting to change while being fully aware that you’re still, fundamentally, yourself. That tension never gets resolved neatly, and honestly, good. That’s what makes the track stick. Bassist Paul Bucholz and drummer Justin Heaverin round out the sound in a way that feels grounded without overshadowing the emotional core of the writing.

This is a band worth paying attention to early, because “Many Gears Ago” has the kind of confidence that suggests they’re only getting started. It’s personal, it’s honest, and it lands exactly where it’s supposed to.
