Cat Power - Dark End of the Street


Artist: Cat Power
Album: Dark End of the Street EP
Genre: Indie Rock
Rating: 3.5 of 5


As the name suggests there is a power behind the music being presented. The "Dark End of the Street", "Ye Auld Triangle" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long" are all great examples of a force that the band keep just below the surface. Perhaps on an LP there would be enough time to explore this space but on this EP I don't feel the band opens up enough.

Even though there are no covers of Janis Joplin here I felt her influence was felt more than the others. If you enjoy covers of the 60s then this is a must have.
