The very first concert of remarkable Chan Marshal aka Cat Power in Slovenia!
Her kaleidoscopic sound mix of punk, folk and blues on her earlier albums and a latent flirtation with electronica on her latest album Sun, has been unconciously (and successfully!) injected into veins of music fans all over the world. It comes as no surprise her robust, Georgia-born vocals and stage presence have convinced music icons such as Dave Grohl, Faithless, Beck, Eddie Vedder etc. to work with her in different forms of collaboration. This time we are given the opportunity to listen to witness her solo performance.
American singer-songwriter and musician Chan Marshall aka Cat Power was discovered in 1994 by Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) and Tim Foljahn (Two Dollar Guitar), with whom she recorded her first three albums, Dear Sir (1995), Myra Lee (1996) and What Would the Community Think (1996), the latter already under the Matador Records label. Following this she released the critically acclaimed Moon Pix (1998), recorded with members of the Dirty Three, and The Covers Record (2000), a collection of sparsely recorded cover songs. After a brief hiatus she reemerged in 2003 with You Are Free, featuring guest musicians Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder, followed by the soul-influenced The Greatest (2006) and a second covers album, Jukebox (2008). In 2012 she released the self-produced Sun, which opened at number 10 on the Billboard 200, the highest charting album of her career to date. Critics have noted the constant evolution of Cat Power’s sound, with a “mix of punk, folk and blues” on her earliest albums, and elements of soul and other genres more prevalent in her later material. Her 2012 album Sun incorporated electronica, in a self-proclaimed move from the “really slow guitar songs” she initially wrote for the album.
