User Album Review
Pussycat is a relentless, unabashed and unvarnished reaction to the Trump presidency; a frequently gruesome, sometimes funny and even occasionally hopeful assault on the assaulter-in-chief.
To be clear: this isn’t a record with a couple of passing references to political dissatisfaction, or a song or two about a lousy leader. Every song on Pussycat connects unequivocally to Donald J. Trump himself (“Short-Fingered Man”), his campaign (“Kellyanne”), his statements (“When You’re a Star”) or the country divided by his election (“Impossible Song”).
Playing all instruments but drums, Hatfield completed Pussycat in under two weeks. That urgency comes through, to the album’s benefit. The immediacy of the melodies—simpler and scrappier than she’s written in years—paired with the snarl of the arrangements, gives Pussycat a rumbling, cathartic honesty ideal for the anger of our times.
