Sinister: Catchers (non B&S)

[Samiam]

The Catcher's album 'Mute' is terrific.  I think B&S fans would fancy
the atmosphere of their music.  I recall an article comparing them to
the Cranberries a few years ago.  Other than the fact they're both Irish
and play somewhat jangly guitar pop, I don't quite see the connection. 
The lyrics are quite different from the Cranberries.  In my opinion,
their music is somewhat reminiscient of mid-80s REM.  Other than the new
single, the only releases I know of is the album 'Mute' and the EP
'Shifting' (which might be a promo, not an official release).
