Posted on by JL

Reveries for the laziest day of the week

13 February 2022

Artist: CATE LE BON
Who: Welsh singer-songwriter,
born Cate Timothy 38 years ago
Active: Since 2007 / 6 LPs (new one included)

New album: POMPEII
Released: 4 February 2022

Info: “Her sixth full-length studio album and the follow up to 2019’s
Mercury-nominated Reward, bears a storied title summoning apocalypse,
but the metaphor eclipses any “dissection of immediacy says Le Bon. Not
to downplay her nod to disorientation induced by double catastrophe, global
pandemic plus climate emergency’s colliding eco-traumas resonate all too eerily.”

Pitchfork says: “Cate Le Bon’s wondrous sixth album exists in a waking dreamscape
whose locked-in grooves approach the unknowable at slanted angles.” Score: 8.5/10.

TUTV: Our planet is in danger as we and Cate Le Bon know it.
She designs darksome, pessimistic images of humankind’s threats
with her classy songwriting.

Welsh Songsmith CATE LE BON Announces 6th Album And Shares First Single ‘RUNNING AWAY’

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

13 October 2021

Artist: CATE LE BON
Who: Welsh singer-songwriter
Active: Since 2007 / 6 studio albums
(new one included)

New album: POMPEII
Out: 4 February 2022 via Mexican Summer

Le Bon: “Pompeii was written and recorded in a quagmire of unease. Solo.
In a time warp. In a house I had a life in 15 years ago. I grappled with existence,
resignation and faith. I felt culpable for the mess, but it smacked hard of the
collective guilt imposed by religion and original sin.”

Running Away is a smooth babbling introspective reverie constructed
around a synth-bass riff while tranquilizing horns cause a heartening
feel. And on top, of course, Le Bon‘s magnetizing voice.
