Cat's Eyes are an alternative pop duo formed in early 2011, by the vocalist Faris Badwan (known for his work with English Indie rock band The Horrors), and the Italian-Canadian soprano, composer and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Zeffira.

The band were formed after Badwan introduced Zeffira to 1960s girl group music. Zeffira became intrigued by the likes of The Ronettes and acts produced by Joe Meek and Phil Spector, and soon began work on a demo version of a track (which eventually became "The Lull") in a similar style, which on completion she sent to Badwan.
