Having been producer of choice for the likes of Wilco and Devendra Banhart in recent years, we are chuffed to hear that Welsh wonder Cate Le Bon has a brand new album of her own on the way. Michelangelo Dying arrives this September through Mexican Summer, and is said to include a collaboration with another Welsh legend, John Cale. New single Heaven Is No Feeling is out now, with a brilliant video from regular collaborator H. Hawkline, and gives us a tasty taste of what dreams are on the way. - Flying Out
Its creation led by pure emotion, Cate Le Bons seventh record Michelangelo Dying usurped the album she thought she was making. The product of all- consuming heartache, her feelings overrode her reluctance to write an album about love, and in the process became a kind of exorcism. What emerges is a wonderfully iridescent attempt to photograph a wound before it closes up but which in doing so, picks at it too.
Musically, there is a continuation and expansion of a sound a machine with a heart that has taken shape over her last two records (2019s Reward and 2022s Pompeii) as Le Bon has increasingly taken control of the playing and producing herself. As guitars and saxophones are pushed through pedals and percussion and voices are fed through filters, an iridescent, green and silky sound emerges, with flashes of the artistic singularities of David Bowie, Nico, John McGeoch and Laurie Anderson surfacing and disappearing below the waterline throughout.
