hot day by caithlin de marrais

so, former bassist/singer of rainer maria caithlin de marrais has a new album out, red coats - and on that album is a song called hot day.


it's an interesting song, hot day - with an interesting origin: it's roots can be traced by to the soundtracks of 70's crime dramas such as the french connection, dirty harry, and taxi driver. there are also traces of patti smith's horses in it - as de marrais says, "Horses was destined to be in my record collection. I loved Mapplethorpe, Blondie, Talking Heads and hanging out in the Village as a teenager. Now I relate to Horses totally differently. It sounds old and wise to me, like a force of nature that won't be silenced."

check out this gritty song:

last night was a problem
but i got today
do what i want
see what i see
last night, made a promise
to old friends in dark bars
forgetting where i'm going
