‘Epilogue’ is the stomping new punk rock explosion Cat Ridgeway just released and it’s as addictive as a double espresso with a dash of oat milk.
Sharp vocals and a fast paced, highly energetic soundscape make for an incredible listen. ‘Epilogue’ is driven by a frantic rhythm and subtle vocals, the single introduce hew upcoming album ‘Sprinter’ which will be out in spring next year. Ridgeway describes her music as indie rock for overthinkers, and if that’s saying that overthinkers do not have the opportunity to overthink while listening to her driving punk rock then I couldn’t agree more. She demands he listener’s attention, unapologetically.
Though ‘Epilogue’ is the only true punk song on the album, it firmly cements Ridgeway as an artist you need to know. “‘Epilogue’ is so striking and gives folks a deeper look into my inner world… It’s the perfect song to introduce this new era. Plus, it’s just fun as hell to play,” says Ridgeway. “Distorting and smacking a banjo until your palms bruise is always a good time for everyone involved!” The song serves as a dissertation on her relationship with religion and death.
