THE COVERS RECORD
Cat Power
(Matador)
Down at the end of lonely street, in the lounge of the Heartbreak Hotel, there's a jukebox that only plays this, the latest album from Chan Marshall, a.k.a. Cat Power. Accompanied only by piano or acoustic guitar, Marshall deconstructs the songs of Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Moby Grape, The Velvet Underground, Smog, The Rolling Stones and others, rendering them stark, desolate, emotionally bracing and virtually unrecognizable. Her blank, icy voice is truly chilling; her propensity for altering cadence allows us to hear old, familiar songs in striking new ways.
