Win our top  31 albums of 2012 ! Read the original review . You never know what to expect for Chan Marshall , aka Cat Power . As a performer, she has traversed a variety of genres and singing styles throughout her career. It wouldn't have surprised anyone if her latest release came out as a dubstep/soul mashup. Thankfully, Marshall surprised us by being on top of her game: on Sun  (her first album of new material since 2006), the Atlanta native [...]

It's a fairly damning indictment of our modern times that search engine results for the enigmatic Chan Marshall are proceeded by the terms Twitter or, somewhat more worryingly, Giovanni Ribisi. It's the latter that most pertinently concerns Sun , this Marshall's ninth studio effort under the guise of Cat Power , and although the songwriter has oft been earmarked as a wallower there's a stirring resilience to these eleven tracks penned in the wake of her separation from the aforenamed and publicly shamed schmuck. Sun may mark the dawning of a new era for Marshall – [...]

Cat Power - Sun By Andrew Seaton Would Elliott Smith’s records be as poignant if it hadn’t been for his depression?  Would Mark Oliver Everett’s early discography be the same if he hadn’t experienced the family traumas that permeate Eels discography? Of course, a good album is never worth mental illness or a drug problem. Nonetheless, while somewhat trite to state it, the tribulations of an artist’s personal life always affect their creative output. This correlation is amply displayed with Sun, the new release from Cat Power [...]

"(...) if Cat Power does indeed have seven lives, they’re all present in this album which strikes by how eclectic it is (...)." Cat Power - Sun (2012) 9.5/10 Matador Records As we mentioned earlier last week in our feature looking back on Cat Power’s prolific career, her 9 th studio album Sun is being streamed on the internet and will be out very, very soon. Having grown from a Nirvana sound-alike to a raspy voiced folk singer, Chan Marshall now proves that [...]

If you're a fan then you've probably already been mesmerised by the insatiable "Ruin" and "Cherokee" , two of the strongest and most captivating tracks we've heard Chan Marshall [...]

Since the new single, "Ruin", by Cat Power was released on June 2oth it has been on heavy rotation on Sirius XMU. The song has been one of my favorites since hearing it in June. It is a very catchy song that peaked my interest enough to go and research who or what Cat Power is? Cat Power is Chan Marshall's band that she has been a part of for many years. SUN, her 9th studio album, will be released on Matador Records September 4th of this year and "Ruin" is the featured single off of the [...]

Cat Power- aka Chan Marshall- had been living with actor Giovanni Ribisi for quite some time until the couple went through an ugly breakup, right after which Giovanni married model Agyness Deyn in secret- Ouch. And while I usually don't hold much stock in the personal lives of celebrities (that's their business), the recent heartbreak seems to have had a huge impact on Cat Power's upcoming record, Sun.  If the album's first single, "Ruin" is any indication, we're going to be in for a quite a ride. The snazzy, saucy single finds Chan asking, "What are we doing? We're [...]

Cat Power (a.k.a. Chan Marshall) will release her new album, Sun, on September 4th. Matador Records is offering a free, legal mp3 of the first single, "Ruin," which you can download below. If this shockingly upbeat number is any indication, the album will be a big departure from Cat Power's previous work. Cat Power - [...]

Cat Power - Ruin ("SUN" ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO) from Cat Power on Vimeo .

Cat Power , aka Chan Marshall, is not a new comer to indie rock.  She has been on the block some time, dealing with multiple bands, drug and alcohol problems, and every other thing under the sun.  She has produced 8 LPs and 2 EPs during her time, some critically acclaimed and others not so much.  But all this experience has brought her the one grand thing that a life with such triumphs and troubles promises: soul.  She sings with her heart on her sleeve, her voice in the realm of Fiona Apple and the late Amy Winehouse.  Her latest [...]

Chan Marshall sings with power, but you always get the feeling that a stiff wind could blow her over. It's that high-wire act - the grand potential for pain and collapse that lies behind every verse she utters - that makes Cat Power so arresting, so wildly alluring. After four years of silence, Marshall is dropping a new album and "Cherokee" is rumored to be the opening track. It feels like a relatively pedestrian Cat Power track until the one minute mark, when suddenly the tune is transformed by a rolling drum beat and a mix that is almost funky. [...]

There's a point in the new NPR All Songs Considered where hosts Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton talk about the new Cat Power album Sun and how it may just be the best that she's ever made. After hearing the first track "Ruin" and I might've been inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, but after hearing "Cherokee" , the second new track from the album, I'm giving in and agreeing with them. "Cherokee" is [...]

Tras cuatro años de silencio, Charlynn Marshall, la guapa estadounidense que todos conocemos como Cat Power, no sorprendió hace exactamente dos días con lo siguiente. Una prestigiosa artista que desde 1995 nos deleita en cada una de sus entregas, llega a compartirnos Ruin, un adelanto de su nuevo material que saldrá del horno bajo el nombre de [...]

• Cat Power - Ruin

No surprise that Sun , the first collection of original material in six years from Cat Power -- aka Chan Marshall -- is quickly shaping up to be one of the most eagerly anticpated albums of the of the year. And the first bits of music from the project aren't exactly tamping down the enthusiasm. Lead single "Ruin" entices with spry, overlapping piano lines that serve as an enticing hook before the song kicks off with an insistent beat, some chunky guitar riffs and Marshall's syncopated vocal delivery. It is, as the song [...]

Ruin is the first track from Cat Power 's upcoming album Sun out next september in Matador.

More than less of us will doubtless have experienced that dismal numbness that sinks to the bottom of your soul when the last petal of a once blossoming romance falls. Some seek a therapeutic form of catharsis in self-shearing, and that's what Chan Marshall went and did following the dissolution of her amorous attachment to Lost In Translation man Giovanni Ribisi. Ruin is the first track to be outed from forthcoming LP Sun , which just so happens to be the first original Cat Power effort since the phenomenal The Greatest way back [...]
