International Velvet

International Velvet is a 1998 album by Catatonia that blends indie and alternative rock with Britpop-influenced pop hooks, centered on Cerys Matthews' distinctive, expressive vocals and a guitar-driven, punchy sound. Songs such as "Mulder and Scully" and "Road Rage" combine catchy choruses with wry, personal lyrics, and the record is often cited for helping draw wider attention to Welsh alternative rock in the late 1990s.
