El año 2012 llega a su fin y es hora de recapitular. Ya hemos hecho un repaso de los mejores artistas debutantes y de los mejores solistas , pero este año ha dado mucho que hablar gracias a los regresos de bandas y artistas después de algunos años de retiro, una separación, o un simple parón. Hemos escuchado nuevas canciones de grupos que son un icono dentro de su género como el rock de The Rolling Stones , el grunge de Soundgarden o el britpop de Blur . También hemos podido volver [...]

Seriously though, how many artist from the Lilith Fair days are thriving now? Though you can’t really consider the range of Cat Power (Charlyn Marie Marshall) to be as simple as ’90s Lilith-alt-rock, the girl who got her start opening for Liz Phair has come a long way. The singer-songwriter has shown she’s got the staying power with gusto, releasing her 8th album Sun earlier this year. She’s touring all across the states with her new set of songs, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to to give away to her show at [...]

Sun might just be Cat Power’s most optimistic record yet. As optimistic as a fearlessly vulnerable battle scarred artist such as Marshall can get.
![Review: Cat Power - Sun [Album]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4482121_lg.jpg)
Cat Power is probably a name you know, but you probably don't know why you know it. Well. Get to know it, and do it by startingwith Sun , Cat Power 's simply stunning new album. For those of you not in the know, it all started for Cat Power (aka Chan Marhsall ) back in 1995 with the release of Dear Sir . But it was probably 1996's critically acclaimed What Would the Community Think? [...]
While every September offers its fair share of long-awaited releases, this month boasts an even greater embarrassment of riches than normal. The record release schedule has come back from summer vacation with a vengeance: While every September offers its fair share of long-awaited releases, this month boasts an even greater embarrassment of riches than normal, from a new album by Bob Dylan to the oft-delayed compilation from Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label to much anticipated returns by some of indie's leading lights, like Animal Collective, Cat Power, and Grizzly Bear. Then there are the comeback efforts by...
Although the only part of Cat Power I might have comprehended as I played with Legos in 1995 – the year Chan Marshall’s debut Dear Sir was released - was the feline and superhero ring of her stage name, the songstress started precisely establishing herself as part of the musical establishment. It’s precisely that timelessness and monumental eternity of Chan Marshall that started in the early nineties that makes me put her albums up on that shelf with The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Diana Krall; in other words she’s part of those artists who sang your nighttime songs, [...]
I was hoping Austin would be one of the stops on the recently announced Cat Power tour , but it isn't. Bummer. On the bright side, word of her upcoming road activities allowed me to realize she had released another single. Check it out. Matador will release Suns on September 4. Enjoy. : Cat Power - Cherokee : The lyrics here aren't exactly cheery, but I think you'll struggle to disagree with me saying that Chan Marshall sounds like she's having fun. The song has a cool 90s dance vibe to [...]
En aquel que puede ser uno de los regresos ma antecipados de este año, por mi hablo es claro, tenemos a Miss Chan Marshall con este nuevo y encantador single Ruin . De antecipación hablo porque hace ya casi 10 años fui testigo del daño que ciertos demonios hacen en un terrible concierto en Oporto. Si es cierto que ellos son bien conocidos por quien conoce su musica, en esse día por casi dos horas se escucharan varios intentos de concierto que su estado de embriaguez no dejaba realizar. Varios pedidos para cambiar las luces [...]

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 [...]
The Greatest faisait encore illusion quand Jukebox dévoilait la supercherie. A faire sa diva soul (saoule) avec backing bands de luxe –compétents mais peu impliqués – Chan Marshall ne séduisait plus : compositions chiches quand débarrassées de tous leurs cuivres et flonflons, reprises en mode automatique, image sur-jouée de la rebelle qui s’intègre au système… Elle en arrivait même à affadir ses propres morceaux ("Metal Heart" en version clinique sur Jukebox ). La rupture était consommée un soir de janvier 2008, sur la [...]

Our favourite distressed yet lovely lady Chan Marshall AKA CAT POWER is working on a new album, Sun . Finally. It’s been six years since her last original LP, The Greatest . Six years too long. Over the course of a twenty-year career, full of despondency, peppered with angst, and salted with her powerhouse vocals, Cat Power has gained many lovers, and sure, a few haters. But those people just don’t appreciate the kind of tell-it-like-it-is lyrical genius that comes to this woman- who by the way totally gets [...]
