Seventeen years after Chan Marshall debuted as Cat Power, her ninth studio album, Sun, arrives. It's been six years since The Greatest, a tribute to her Southern roots recorded in Memphis. Unlike her past work, Sun shows Cat Power in a new light. Having faced the challenges of adulthood - stage fright, substance abuse, break - ups, and creative struggles - she seems to be confronting her earlier self. This album puts synthesizers and drum programming at the forefront, giving guitars a break. It stands out from current musical trends and is uniquely Marshall's. This vinyl 2LP comes with a free MP3 download and is from the Matador label in 2012. Reviewed by Michu Meszaros in 09/2012.
