It’s a good day for those of us who have been waiting to hear news of a new Cat Power record and tour.
The acclaimed singer-songwriter will finally release a new record this October. Cat Power will also make a pit stop Wednesday, November 21 at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel as part of a winter tour.
It’s been six years since Chan Marshall last released an album, 2012’s Sun. That record was a big departure from her usual sound as she opted for more electronic and synth-based sounds. It wasn’t as well received as previous works of hers, but I really appreciated the risks she took on the record and dug it.
That said, the new record Wanderer (out Oct. 5 via Domino) sounds as if it’s Cat Power getting back to her old sound. The video trailer that accompanied the announcement features a clip from the title track and it sounds like the Cat Power of old. Give it a listen below:
The album encompasses “my journey so far,” says Marshall. “The course my life has taken in this journey – going from town to town, with my guitar, telling my tale; with reverence to the people who did this generations before me. Folk singers, blues singers, and everything in between. They were all wanderers, and I am lucky to be among them.”
Can’t wait for November? Good news — Cat Power is playing a free show Saturday, August 4 as part of the Marina del Rey summer concert series at Burton Chase Park. Find all the information here.
Tickets to Cat Power’s show at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel go on sale Friday, July 20 at 10 AM Pacific Time and are priced from $38.50 to $48.50. You can pre-order the album here.
