Sun is the first album of original material from Cat Power in over six years. Chan Marshall performed and produced Sun herself in various locations including a studio she built in Malibu.
Marshall performed and produced the album herself following a difficult break up with longtime boyfriend/actor Giovanni Ribisi. “I cut my hair off three days [after the break-up], got on a plane to France, and finished the shit, It’s all good, you know. I love the person very much. I actually love this record very much, too. I’m very proud of it.”
