Moon Pix (reissue) (LP)
VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Cat Power's 1998 album Moon Pix continues Chan Marshall's transformation from an indie rock Cassandra into a reflective, accomplished singer/songwriter. Where her previous works were an urgent, aching mix of punk, folk, and blues, Moon Pix is truly soul(ful) music: warm, reflective, complex, and cohesive.

| The best album ever? Quite possibly. Buy a copy now. If you have one already then buy another, give it to a friend. | |

| How ironic this thing was recorded in Austrailia, the country of "no worries." There's plenty of worry here and this is definately a heavy album to listen to. The new line-up, location, and glowing admiration have forced Chan to focus on her craft and may have pushed her to mental collapse in the process; this album sounds like it drained her emotionally. No wonder she released an album of covers after this one, there is no way a human being could survive another round of soul searching like this. The songwriting is what's in front and the band seems to fall in and out of place like they all had their eyes on her to see if she'd make it through the take. Amiables: be prepared to weep when playing this album. The best release of 1998. | |

| "Moon pix" is an amazingly beautiful album and definately worth owning, however it pales in comparison to her earlier work ie. "Myra Lee" and "What would the community think". If you enjoy this album please do not ignore cat power's previous work as many people do. | |

| I remember my father calling "Cross Bones Style" "funeral music". Well, this is the music i would most certainly want to take to the grave with me when i pass on. One of my favorite CDs as of the moment. | |

| Chan ('Shawn') Marshall has created a beautiful collection of songs here and the addition of Jim and Mick from the Dirty 3 is an excellent grouping, something that was bound to happen for sure someday. Chan shines the brightest of all of her albums here, reaching deep into her psyche and finding incredible wealths of imagination and spirit. This album grows incredibly well on you and you will find it and her other albums becoming a large part of your world almost immediately. I thought her version of Dylan's "Moonshiner" was incredibly adept and unique. She is a talent where the limits are endless. She will only get better (and she ain't been in such a bad place so far). Georgia has produced some
great singer/songwriters in the past. Chan is from the same dark, gothic, strange world as Flannery O'Connor, Carson McCullers and Faulkner. A Georgian by birth, her southern roots run deep. I voted Chan's Moon Pix as my #2 album of all of 1998. | |

| More dark, haunting, melancholia from this amazing singer-songwriter, this time backed by the equally hypnotic Aussie group, the Dirty Three. Kinda like Ida meets Bob Dylan at the crossroads. Get this first, then check out 1997's What Would The Community Think. | |
