Cate Le Bon 'Michelangelo Dying' LP pre-order (release date 26th September)
Cate Le Bon - 'Michelangelo Dying’ black vinyl LP.
Its creation led by pure emotion, Cate Le Bon’s 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 (2019’s ‘Reward’ and 2022’s ‘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.
This LP is released on Friday 26th September.
