What Would the Community Think

Cat Power

Murky, blues-inflected indie rock recorded with a skeletal intensity. A breakthrough of raw electric guitars and smoky, whispered revelations.

It's like a haunted blues record recorded in a basement while the rest of the world is asleep.

A heavy, Southern gothic introspection that feels both fragile and intensely resilient.

The production is pushed notably harder into lo fi than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, jarring electric guitar swell in Nude as the News that feels like a physical jolt.
The way her voice almost disappears into the hiss during the final minute of In This Hole.
The hypnotic, repetitive drum pattern on King Rides By that creates a trance-like state of unease.
