Currently working on the 5th studio album and planning the next tour!
Catnyp IIII came out April 22, 2022. A 14-song collection of intoxicating indie-rock treats, exploring the outer stratosphere of the eccentric modern classic sensibility.
Catnyp IIII is viscerally lean—just guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. It has the rawness and energy of a demo, but with high-fidelity and clarity. It’s a best-of-both worlds approach guided by the golden touch of multiplatinum mixer engineer Brian Reeves (U2, Miley Cyrus, Elton John). Shatner is a dynamic and melody-centric songwriter who carefully crafts each vocal line; like McCartney, pens lyrical basslines & impactfully uses loud-and-soft contrasts, recalling the explosive musicality of Pixies and Nirvana.
Catnyp IIII tears open with the jagged alt-rock of “Big Sky,” and then rockets us into thrilling adventures, including checking out grisly murder scenes; jetting to Berlin; reveling in the joys of dysfunctional high school get-togethers; intriguing encounters with a transgendered character; and more. Through it all, Shatner is a shapeshifting narrator, and his vocal stylings channel Paul McCartney, Debbie Harry, David Bowie, Jack White, Nick Cave, Chris Isaak, Damon Albarn, and Robert Plant in his quest to find the right voice for each song.
