Canadian indie-folk artist Cat Clyde recently released her latest studio album Down Rounder to widespread acclaim, spanning several outlets. She toured the UK with Lissie for the last month, mesmerizing crowds with her unique formula of charm and chops. Now, she is thrilled to share a clip of her single “Mystic Light,” shot at their London show at Koko. The expansive album single hits home as Cat takes on existential matters over chiming bells, percussive guitar and melodic vocals that warmly envelop listeners.

Clyde’s malleable singing voice and contemplative, poetic lyricism espouse an essential connection between our spiritual center and the natural world that surrounds us. The new album was recorded in six days flat with producer Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney) in Los Angeles’ famed Sound City studios, striking listeners with an intimate, livewire electricity and capturing the captivating live performance that Clyde has become revered for. Stay tuned for US shows and festival appearances coming soon!

Down Rounder is Clyde’s first proper solo album since 2019’s spellbinding Hunters Trance, but she’s also been plenty busy between now and then. In 2020, she released Good Bones, a set of acoustic reimagining from Hunters Tranceas well as her 2017 debut Ivory Castanets; last year, Clyde joined up with fellow Canadian country singer-songwriter Jeremie Albino for the stellar collab LP Blue Blue Blue. She’s also racked up millions of streams across platforms, setting the stage for Down Rounder as her widest-reaching album yet.
