We caught up with the Brooklyn-based trio pussnbootsmusic:
Puss N’ Boots — the Brooklyn-based trio made up of Sasha Dobson, Norah Jones. and Catherine Popper — released their long-awaited sophomore album, Sister, on Valentine’s Day. And long-awaited it was, not just for fans but for the band members themselves.
Dobson seems to have contributed the most originals to Sister but each of the ladies gets a couple of moments in the spotlight. And there are other instances — such as the title track and the instrumental “Jamola,” which opens the album — that are full-scale collaborations. The band members swap instruments throughout the disc. What stands out above the writing and playing, though, is still the singing. The trio’s three-part harmonies are exquisite.
Jones: I feel like this time, we got together after not playing for a couple of years. We hadn’t really played in a long time. And we got together [this time] and we planned it right. I feel like everybody [was] inspired to write… Dobson: I kinda took over that one! What we do, with a lot of our songs, is [that] we’ll get together to rehearse and then we’ll make up stuff on the side. Norah will be screwin’ around on some part, and then I’ll get on the drums. Some of the songs that we’ve written so far started out that way. [With] “Sister,” Catherine and I were sound checking — Dobson: I was like, “Sister, I don’t wanna know!” And Catherine was like, “Did you just make that up?” We came up with a groove right away.
I’ve played for bass for 30 years or something. And I was so in my head about it all the time. And then I was like, “Maybe I don’t have to get better at bass; maybe I have to stop caring about what I can’t do.” And then all of a sudden, my playing solidified in a way.Popper: Yeah! Well, when they asked me to play with them, they were doing mostly country covers. And I just said, “I wonder what would happen if brought this in.” And Norah was like, “Oh, I grew up listening to that song.
Dobson: Oh my God! Where [do] I begin? First of all, Catherine is one of my heroes. She can play any kind of music, she can play by ear, and she’s also very studious. [She] knows theory [and] tons of shit on bass. She can play with anyone. I really admire all that Catherine has accomplished as a bass player and also — I don’t mean for a woman, but because she’s a woman, it’s just that much more inspiring. It’s really amazing to be in a band with two other women.
