Wanderer / Exit 2:19 ┌────────┐ ────┤ Notes ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── └────────┘ A one-of-a-kind artist unafraid to reveal her inner self and follow her muse in different directions, Cat Power's Chan Marshall pens literate and emotionally revealing songs and performs them with strength and fragility. Her earliest albums, such as 1996's "What Would The Community Think", reflected the influence of New York's experimental rock scene. As time went on, however, the folk, blues, and soul music she was raised on made themselves known on 1998's "Moon Pix" and 2006's "The Greatest", which featured performances by Memphis soul legends. As Marshall continued to experiment, adding electronics on 2012's "Sun" and releasing one of her starkest albums yet with 2018's "Wanderer", she established herself as one of the 21st century's most acclaimed singer/songwriters and paved the way for like-minded artists such as Mitski, Snail Mail, and Angel Olsen. For "Wanderer", Marshall focuses her production and arrangements on her voice, which has become the instrument her songs have always needed. A little raspier than before and as remarkably emotive as always, it's so full of living that no flashy accompaniment is needed on songs such as the title track. One of the album's briefest and most beautiful moments, "Wanderer" heart-melting harmonies grace a song that could be an eternal lament handed down for generations. Throughout the album, Marshall feels completely in command of the folk, blues, and soul that have lurked around the margins of her music since the beginning and made up the heart of "The Greatest". Even as she says goodbye on almost every track, from "Me Voy" sultry regret to the serenely devastating "Horizon", Wanderer returns to sounds that are in her blood. She subtly modernizes these traditions while tapping into their timeless power: "Black" is another in her series of songs about friends who have died, and the way Marshall contrasts folk- and blues-based mythologizing with a very modern streak of survivor's guilt makes it one of her most spellbinding. "Robbin Hood", with its vicious cycle of literal and spiritual theft, could have been written in the shadow of The Great Depression or the Great Recession. Conversely, Marshall also incorporates 2010's touches in ways that sound classic and, above all, genuine. On "Woman", she and Lana Del Rey bid a liberating goodbye to others' expectations, their voices combining in an evocation of the spirit of womanhood (although Marshall's confession 'The doctor said I was not my past/He said I was finally free' is utterly, poignantly personal). Similarly, she hones Rihanna's "Stay" - already an unusually naked and free-flowing pop ballad - to its most soul-baring parts, and its spine-tingling beauty is another testament to the strength it takes to be so vulnerable. As tender as it is uncompromising, "Wanderer" is exactly the album Marshall needed to make at this point in her career and life. It's some of her most essential music, in both senses of the word. ┌────────┐ ────┤ Salute ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── └────────┘ BERC r35 GCP FWYH NuHS GRAVEWISH JCE KLV
