elctro indie pop/soulful adult contempo.
chan marshall is back with this, her first album in 6 years. most commercial venture to date.
unlike her previous work -which tended to be spare, acoustic, singer songwriter fare- this is electro based. it's also self made: she played all instruments and produced. that accounts for the claustro feel to the whole. first half is boring; second half shines.
MR. ESQ. SEZ: MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOV-(that's half a 'W'.)
FCC WARNING: 3,11.
RIYL: it's cat power=you figure it out.
PLAY THESE TRACKS: 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

*1. slow, discoish.
2. more electro. boring.
3. FCC WARNING: 'SHIT'. latin beat.
4. funky stuff.
5. slowed, dragging.
6. glitchy&chessy.
*7. starts soft. synths like crickets. builds.
her humanity comes through (it's still chan.)
*8. PURR-FECT II: hypnotic. wistfully upbeat, and kinda dancey in an afterhours way. most soulful. (it's still chan.)
*9. delta blues elctro pop.
*10. PURR-FECT: very similar to bowie's 'heroes.' (cameo by iggy pop near end.)slow fade in. false ending, so beware. long track=just under 11 minutes! it's epic,baby! classic cat power survives the electro treatment. (it's still chan.)
*11. dancey, catchy =awesome.
