“Cadillac” rolls in like the height of an old Western movie with a brooding baseline, and sultry vocals that paint a picture of smoke, an old car, a horse and “talking smack.” Exuding an unmistakable dark and stormy energy, Coen describes the track as a “metaphorical dance with the devil on fateful night in a desolate West Texas saloon.” The artist cites old spaghetti Western films and Quentin Tarantino as inspirations that touch on her roots to bring a refreshed sound that is uniquely Coen.
The second single out now “el paso,” swiftly picks up where “cadillac” left off, evoking a Southern Gothic aura that envelops the listener. An autobiographical plunge into heartbreak, “el paso” sheds light on the pain that addiction can inflict on users and their loved ones.
“‘Cadillac’ and ‘el paso’ feel very authentic to me. From the start, I have wanted to find a way to combine alt-rock with Western and bluegrass influences and I think these tracks do exactly that–and don’t even get me started on how much cuntry witch realness we will be serving in the visuals to come.”
