Cat Power

Album reviews

You Are Free (Recommended)
Matador (2003)
Chan Marshall's sixth album as Cat Power could be her best. Read NATN's take and read the interview.

The Covers Record
Matador (2000)
Listening to most Cat Power albums evokes a somewhat unsettling feeling, where one is left worrying about songstress Chan Marshall and hoping that wherever she may be, she is doing alright.

Moon Pix
Matador (1998)
Chan Marshall's fragile and fierce voice stretches a thin film of sadness across the 11 songs making up the fantastic, yet extremely depressing, Moon Pix.

What Would The Community Think?
Matador (1997)
Listening to What Would The Community Think is like watching a friend on the verge of losing her mind. It is a wild and sometimes disturbing ride, but it is completely honest. And like any great blues album, it is contagious.

Concert reviews

September 17, 2006
Stubb's, Austin, Texas
Chan Marshall jumps like a kitty, dying to escape through a door that beckons and sits slightly ajar. She plays air guitar, air trumpet, air piano, and last but not least, air drums.

November 16, 2000
Irving Plaza, New York
Someone took off after her, the crowd was left a bit stunned and confused, and all I could think was, "This is Post-Modern Rock."
