power cat, jewel of the nite

[Chan Marshall by Melodie McDaniel]

I've been going through a Cat Power renaissance lately. Her voice is so wistful and calming. Though she hasn't put out an album of all-new material in a while, she did just put out a reboot of "King Rides By" for charity and there's a new LP slated for 2012.

My current Cat Power playlist:









A new album I've been enjoying is Night Jewel's One Second of Love. This album is the stunning brunette of nighttime suitable female-sung electropop. (That made more sense in my head.) You have to listen to the title song, which has a sort of churning movement to it under Ramona Gonzalez's cool vocal delivery, and "Memory Man", which wouldn't sound that out of place on early 90s radio. Also, Ramona seems like a really cool lady. She does multimedia installations in the LA area.
