“The question is usually, “How has your son changed your songwriting, and changed you as an artist?” He hasn’t changed my songwriting, as an artist, he hasn’t changed me. But as a human being, he’s fortified something”

Cat Power, the indie-rock icon who has been known to cancel a tour to take care of herself, is okay. Not that it’s our business. Except when she makes it our business.
“There are streets that I don’t walk down anymore,” says Marshall, taking a deep drag of a half-finished American Spirit, while sitting on her quilt-covered daybed, leaning toward her open bedroom window to exhale, waving out the smoke with her hand like a bad teen hoping not to get busted. “I’m old school, I can’t waste anything,” she says tangentially, referring to her cigarette before returning to the subject. “There’s nothing for me there anymore.

For over a decade, Marshall has been labeled “a survivor” on each Cat Power album since her seventh, The Greatest , when she first canceled a tour. Since then, multiple tours have been called comebacks, and her album releases have tended to follow, or at least coincide with, personal cataclysm: break-ups, hospitalizations , or dark spiritual visitations .
And that is when Marshall discovered she was pregnant. “Instantly I knew exactly what I had to do. Instantly I understood that now it’s time to play the protection ball game, and no one fucking wins this game but me,” Marshall explains. “I moved back to Miami. I found a house for rent. I got all my fucking music gear out of storage.” She toured until she was into her seventh month, came home, baby-proofed her new house and set up a home studio at the same time.
