The young New York singer-songwriter Katzin will release his debut album Buckaroo this Friday. Following a stream of promising singles — including "Anna," "Wild Horses," and "Nantucket" — today he's dropping "Cowboy," a song that bridges the gap between Pixies-style fuzz and heartland-rock grandiosity.
"We had about six or seven tunes for the album already, and we wanted a standout, shiny, loud song," Katzin says of the track, which he wrote with producer Max Morgen. "So we sat down and wrote 'Cowboy' together. It felt like we were really in lockstep. It just came out so seamlessly. The kick drum on that song is actually the sound of my boots banging on the wooden deck in his backyard."
Hear "Cowboy" below.
Buckaroo is out 2/13 on Mexican Summer.
