Moon Pix is the fourth studio album by Cat Power, the stage name and eponymous band of American singer-songwriter, Chan Marshall. It was released in September 1998 on Matador Records.
Much of the album was written in a single night, following a hallucinatory nightmare Marshall experienced while staying at a farmhouse in South Carolina. Prior to that, Marshall had intended to retire from music. The album was recorded in Melbourne, Australia with Mick Turner and Jim White, of the Australian instrumental band Dirty Three, on guitar and drums, respectively.
Released to modest acclaim, the album has since been described as Cat Power's "magnum opus"[2] and "one of the Nineties great singer/songwriter triumphs."[3] In 2022, it was ranked at number 66 in Pitchfork's "The 150 Best Albums of the 1990s" list.[4]
