Hot Saki & Bedtime Stories is the final album from Chicago rock band Catherine. It was released on September 17, 1996, through TVT Records. D'arcy Wretzky of The Smashing Pumpkins, drummer Kerry Brown's wife at the time, provides vocals on "Four Leaf Clover" and "Punch Me Out".
"Four Leaf Clover" was released as a single and has a music video featuring Wretzky. She joined the band to sing on two songs at a single show on November 7, 1996.
Wretzky told MTV's 120 Minutes that Catherine was looking for a "girl/boy kind of thing" when they asked her to provide backup vocals on the record. She said the collaboration worked really well with singer Mark Rew's vocals, and that at times the listener can't infer which of the two are singing.[1]
Critical reception[edit | edit source]
In their retrospective review, AllMusic called it "an even more varied and generally successful package" than their previous studio album, Sorry!, also adding that "the ghost of Corgan crunch yet lurks throughout" the album.[2]
