Ruin is everything a promotional single should be: it’s a
very solid track with an infectious beat that gets me excited for the LP
release. Chan Marshall also known as Cat Power has been doing music for a while
now. Her new album “Sun” will be
her 9th studio album since 1995. She has been allegedly working at this album from as far back as 2006
(remember 2006? That was like forever ago.)
As in most of her studio albums all
the songs are written but also entirely performed by her. She is known for her minimalist
instrumentation, and vocal delivery, and you can get both of those from
listening to this track. The album itself is said to be taking Marshall in (yet
another) new direction, a more electronic sound with use of drum machines and
synths.
I wouldn’t consider myself very knowledgeable
of Cat Power’s previous releases, but listening to this track and a few others
I’m down for more! Take a listen
and maybe you too can get into the Cat Power scene. The new album drops September 4th here in the
states. Follow her on the facebook (where she posts a number of interesting pictures)
and preorder the album/download the track here.
