Cat Power announces tour dates, shares Dead Man’s Bones cover

Cat Power has announced a raft of North American live dates in support of her forthcoming album Covers. The run of shows begins on January 16 in Albany, two days after the album's release date, and runs through until May. See below for dates.

In addition to the live shows, Chan Marshall has also shared a new song from Covers. "Pa Pa Power" is originally by Dead Man's Bones, a.k.a. Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling's band. Speaking in a statement, Marshall explained that she began performing the song almost a decade ago.

“I started playing this solo in 2012 (originally more dissonant and trance-y), when the Occupy Wall street protests were going on. Occupy was bunkering down and saying, ‘This shit's fucking fucked up.’ And helping citizens be a voice in their local government. They got a lot of good things done, but the American media killed the movement. I felt like this song was relative to that. The American media has always penalized any sort of social progressiveness and is always the first to express conservative rhetoric against something that is beneficial to the nation. I’d open with this song on the 2013 China tour. ‘Burn the streets, burn the cars.’”

Covers is out January 14 via Domino and also features the prviously shared cover of Frank Ocean's "Bad Religion" plus songs by Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, The Replacements, Billie Holiday, Lana Del Rey, and more.
