Alt-rock/alt-pop/Americana singer-songwriter Alpha Cat, aka Elizabeth McCullough, just recently launched her brand-new EP, Venus Smile … Retrograde
Discussing the EP, Alpha Cat shares, “This record resolves the departments in society and requests for them to be recovered by resolving our commonness. It’s a confident resolution and reconnection to a world that has actually ended up being too divided, too severe.”
Resolving the intimate nature of the lyrics, Alpha Cat states, “It’s truly everything about how a damaged heart can reveal you what you are made from.”
Boasting a who’s who of artists, Venus Smile … Retrograde includes the skills of guitar player Doug Pettibone (Lucinda Williams, John Mayer,) bassist Reggie McBride (Stevie Marvel, Parliament Funkadelic, Elton John) and cellist Jane Scarpantoni (RAPID EYE MOVEMENT, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs).
Consisting of 6 tracks, the EP starts with “Venus Smile Rx,” an edgy, mid-tempo tune betwixt and in between alt-rock and alt-pop. Alpha Cat’s dreamy voice imbues the lyrics with abundant, oblique tones.
Emphasizes consist of “Orbit Rx,” which for some factor summons tips of Nirvana on the introduction, followed by the entry of Alpha Cat’s seductive, nuanced vocals, offering the lyrics tips of mystical savors. Rolling and undulating, the feel and circulation of this track are haunting and hypnotic.
” All in Your Head Rx” presents on tight percussion shining, a little lysergic guitars, topped by Alpha Cat’s enigmatic-flavored voice, at the same time pensive and polypharmic.
2 Radio Edits, “Orbit Rx” and “All in Your Head Rx,” connect the EP off. Speaking subjectively, the 2 tunes are the very best tracks on the EP, with the psychedelic textures of “All in Your Head Rx” offering a phantastic movement, while “Orbit Rx” is slightly similar to Liz Phair.
With Venus Smile … Retrograde, Alpha Cat provides appealing washes of alt-pop and alt-rock, blended into meaningful, infectious music.
