The Gringo Pistoleros deliver a classic with new single “The Cat Came Back”
The Gringo Pistoleros return for another modern take on the classic theme. Out just in time for Halloween, the band’s latest single, “The Cat Came Back,” from their album “The Rise and Subsequent Fall of the Texas Alien,” revamps a traditional folk song with a modern sound.
Bursting from the creative hibernation of lockdown, The Gringo Pistoleros have created a track that combines the down-to-earth storytelling of Country with surprising jazz and brass elements. The vocals and versatile guitar work set a tone, complemented by the drums, which punch out rhythm with playful insistence. The instrumentation provides a fine depth of sound, creating an immediately familiar and excitingly new song.
In “The Cat Came Back,” The Gringo Pistoleros demonstrate the ability to respect the tradition and yet play fearlessly. It’s a song that feels like a celebration of sound, story, and the sheer joy of making music. It’s an ideal entry on any Halloween playlist and another reminder of why this band has been one to watch since their origin.

Grace Doty lights up the sky with new release “Sunset Colors”
Grace Doty’s newest single, “Sunset Colors,” takes listeners to golden-hour skies and quiet coastal roads from the start. Doty takes the emotional honesty of girl-pop from the late 1990s and early 2000s and gives it a softer, more modern look. “Sunset Colors” starts with a delicate mix of guitar and synth that makes the sound feel both dreamy and new.
“Sunset Colors” is about the feeling of falling in love for the first time, which happens naturally and without any effort, like the colors of a sunset sky slowly blending. Doty’s stories use this simplicity to let the feelings breathe rather than smother them.
“Sunset Colors” was made in her home studio along the Connecticut shoreline, the warm, atmospheric textures make you feel like you’re in the ocean air, and the music has a calm, quiet evening feel.
