Cat Power, the singer/songwriter/producer Chan Marshall, has announced that due to the recent surge in COVID cases nationwide, the first leg of her 2022 tour has been rescheduled from January/February to April/May. See below for the updated tour, which will launch following the release of her new album Covers, out this Friday, January 14, on Domino. All tickets for the postponed dates will be honored on the new date.
Produced in its entirety by Marshall, Covers features fully reimagined songs by Frank Ocean, Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, The Pogues, The Replacements, Lana Del Rey, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne and more, plus an updated rendition of her own song “Hate” from The Greatest (2006), retitled “Unhate” for this album. Cat Power announced Covers in October with a performance of Frank Ocean’s “Bad Religion” on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Other recent previews of the album include the music video for “I’ll Be Seeing You,” a take on the Billie Holiday classic. Marshall recently discussed the new album with Marc Maron on his WTF Podcast, and talked to Stereogum for their “We’ve Got a File on You” feature.
Cover songs have always occupied a crucial place in the Marshall canon, and Covers completes a trilogy of sorts, following beloved past collections Jukebox (2008) and The Covers Record (2000). While she frequently delights and surprises with the songs she chooses to cover, it’s Marshall’s total commitment to the performance - imbuing the songs with a creative singularity that rivals her original work - that make Cat Power covers so special. Says Pitchfork, Marshall can “rearrange a song simply by squinting at it.”
In addition to the new album release and tour, Cat Power/Marshall was recently covered by Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) & Soulsavers, interpreting her song “Metal Heart.” She also scored, alongside Eddie Vedder and Glen Hansard, the soundtrack to Sean Penn’s film Flag Day.
