"well, I oiled up my boots so it's ok if I walk in the rain"
From Cat Clyde's recently release album, "Good Bones", the track, Toaster, is a song that was never necessarily meant to be recorded. The Canadian artist wrote it in her first year of college, with no intention of laying it down but after being urged to do so (lucky for us) recorded it in one take. Toaster is a fiery acoustic track with acoustic rhythms up front and percussive as Clyde sets her narrative ablaze with evocative images cut out of her sort of porch blues punk style.
"I'm smoking dirty cigarettes cuz I can't afford the ones I like
and there's no time to wash my clothes but it don't matter cuz they all smell like smoke"
Clyde (in the song) does light her cigarette in the toaster "just like my mother used to do" and mentally ambles all alone in her apartment ruminating in a home spun way as the world goes by. We have all been there.
