Playing all instruments but drums, Hatfield completed Pussycat in under two weeks recording at Q with Pat “Denzel” DiCenso. Written in response to the election cycle of President Trump, there is an immediacy to its melodies—simpler and scrappier than she’s written in years—paired with the snarl of the arrangements, Pussycat is a rumbling, cathartic honesty ideal for the anger of our times. Released via American Laundromat Records on April 28th and its first single “Short-Fingered Man” through Stereogum, the record can be streamed in its entirety below.
