Covers (Cat Power album)

[2] The album was recorded alongside Marshall's live band: guitarist Adeline Jasso, bassist and keyboardist Erik Paparozzi, and drummer Alianna Kalaba.

She explained: "I got in the studio and I wanted the band to relax, so I started composing improvisationally, just getting them to play certain things that sounded good together.

I just wanted the band to warm up, and when I got them to play something that I liked the sound of, I went to the vocal booth and I said, 'Just don't stop.'

This has been inspired by the live performances of Bob Dylan, who frequently rearranges the majority of his own work when touring.

Marshall said that she "started feeling more and more angry inside" while performing the latter song live, a track she described as "basically a ballad to the white 1% male".

[2] The song was released on streaming platforms as a double A-side single with "A Pair of Brown Eyes" the following day.
