New Cat Power

"Ruin"

I've been in love with Chan Marshall's work as Cat Power since  2002's decade-defining You Are Free.  Today, she released the first single from her upcoming album, due September 4th on Matador.  The album will be her first original music since her excellent 2006 release, The Greatest.

I've been looking forward to Sun since Marshall announced the completion of the album, which she performed and produced herself, via Twitter.  "Ruin" hasn't done anything to dampen my enthusiasm.
