Cat Power
What Would The Community Think?
repressed on vinyl chan marshall's second album under the name cat power finds the north carolinian at lofi maverick doug easley's memphis studio her soft engagingly shy voice and delicate acoustic guitar supported by easley's pedal steel and sonic youth drummer steve shelley's percussion though easley and shelley are better known for working with much louder noisier artists than marshall they never overpower her sensitive but sturdy material sounding more selfassured than she did on her debut 1995's 'dear sir' marshall invests more passion and fire in songs like the foreboding 'water and air' and the obsessive feedback and pianolaced title track than one expects to find in the slackerfriendly lofi genre elsewhere the delicate 'king rides by' is an unvarnished love song that packs an equally powerful emotional wallop this is an outstanding underrated album
