Best known as the Sneaker Pimps' former siren, Kelli Ali forged a solo career that bridged rock and electronica. After she left the Sneaker Pimps in the late '90s, Ali began working on her own music, collaborating with Dido producer Rick Nowels and Primal Scream contributor Jagz Kooner on her solo debut, Tigermouth, which was released by the Sneaker Pimps' label, One Little Indian. Ali teamed with producer Dave McCracken and another Primal Scream member, guitarist Andrew Innes, for the harder-hitting Psychic Cat.
