Stephen Malkmus on Cat Power

Stephen Malkmus, formerly of the band Pavement, whose song "We Dance" Cat Power covered back in the '90s, had some nice things to say about Chan in a recent article in The Guardian. Malkmus chose "Cross Bones Style" as "the track that touches me" with the following explanation:

"This song has a witchy, spooky, haunted folk feel, but it also has a steady pulse and a rickety rhythm – an indie rock backbone. I like how she does that and the way she harmonises with herself. She's a genius performer and songwriter. That people get her music and like it gives me hope. It's inspirational to me to hear a great song that touches you."
