Should appeal to non-Cat Power fans
Nov 25 2000
Format:Audio CD
When I first heard Cat Power, it was her song "Rockets" (although I didn't know it at the time). Immediately turned on to the sound, I started to listen to anything I could by her, but they were all songs from her various other albums. I didn't really like what I heard - her other songs still have her haunting vocals but with a finger-picking style guitar in a more "folky" vain. Eventually, I was able to hear the songs on "Dear Sir" and it was exactly what I was attracted to in the first place. The music has more sparse, heavier distorted guitar work, slightly reminscent of early Sonic Youth. The resulting music is like hearing a ghost wail over the grindings of machinery.
If you've heard of Cat Power vicariously from interviews of other artists or other plugs in print, I highly recommend this album to be your first excursion.

let's not talk about cat power breaking new ground here; this is a reissue. although it was not exactly 'groundbreaking' (ugh) when it came out, who cares? it's great! sincere, slightly off-kilter, beautifully dissonant... buy!
where do the the rockets find planets?
Nov 23 1999
Format:Audio CD
Spare and scratchy, this album is rougher and less even than the later efforts of Miss Marshall. Absolutely amazing is "Rockets" -- still one of her best in it's sweetness and sing-along-ability. "Headlights" is tragic and pained, and more driving (sorry about the pun) than most Cat Power songs. This is a wonderful rainy day album probably better suited to people who are already fans of her music, but absolutely necessary in a CP fan's library. Also: she's backed by Tim Foljahn and Steve Shelley, who add a whole different set of sonic youth-ey influences.
