Free Music Notes for Moon Pix

Free Music Review: mesmerizing folk
Hit: 5 Stars

I was extremely sceptical to listen to this record. It was a suggestion from an ex-girfriend, and I really didn't want to like it. I reluctantly popped a copy of Moon Pix into my car stereo and gave it a shot. From the opening 'paul revere' drum loop to the last breath of chan marshall's voice, i was hooked. This record is simply one of the most honest and remarkable independent releases of the nineties. When I say honest, I mean it. There's an authenticity in miss marshall's music that can be found on very few records of the same musical nature. Moon Pix is not a stunning technological breakthrough, nor does it make any profound musical revelations; What it does do is allow the listener to be fully absorbed and entranced by probably one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. Honesty...let's explore this idea. Critics could (and do) write this record off as a girl trying too hard to 'sound' honest. What I don't understand is the reasoning these critics use. Here is a songwriter pouring her emotions into the public's ears with everything she can give, and its passed off as 'trying too hard'? Give me a break. That's exactly what makes this record so perfect. Chan's ability to craft these tunes with as much emotion as I've ever heard is not just unique in these musically apocalyptic times, but is so important. So 'boo-hoo' to you closed minded music fascists. Try writing a song with only two chords and make it as beautiful as a chopin piano concerto. This album made me second guess my leaving my ex... Man it has to be good!

Moon Pix Poster

No Longer includes bonus tracks. 1998 release.Standard jewelcase.
Chan Marshall, a.k.a. Cat Power, has created an album, Moon Pix, that somehow manages to be both complex and difficult as well as stark and spacious. It's an interesting contradiction mirrored in Marshall's vocal and lyrical talents; her voice soars and croons, sometimes trading melodies with a wandering flute line, while her lyrics are powerful, inscrutable, and fiercely intimate. Two of the Dirty Three evoke a subtle instrumental landscape upon which she wanders, a place less haunting than haunted; specters of lost friends, lost loves, and unrealized dreams abound. There is beauty here, but the kind of beauty found in the crushed shell of a bird's egg or a cemetery in fall. Not an easy listen, but a necessary one. --Tod Nelson
Singer Chan Marshall takes intimacy to a new level with the eerily lovely song cycle of Moon Pix. The narrative revolves around a nightmare figure who beckons toward a location that sounds rather like H-E-double hockey sticks. The starkness of this ghost story is mirrored in the austerity of the atmospheric music. Joined by Jim White and Mick Turner of the Australian slow-rock band the Dirty Three, Marshall uses spare guitar, flute, and piano arrangements to create the sounds of the last singer left on a postapocalyptic landscape. As Marshall sings in "Say," "If you're looking for something easy, you might as well give it up," and that lyric is the best description of this difficult and brilliant album. --Lois Maffeo
