Cate Le Bon by H Hawkline
It’s Cate Le Bon’s sixth studio album.
Cate Le Bon has unveiled the details of her new record Pompeii, which will be released on February 4th next year.
“Pompeii was written and recorded in a quagmire of unease,” Le Bon says. “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.
“The subtitle is: You will be forever connected to everything. Which, depending on the time of day, is as comforting as it is terrifying. The sense of finality has always been here. It seems strangely hopeful. Someone is playing with the focus lens.”
“The world is on fire but the bins must go out on a Tuesday night. Political dissonance meets beauty regimes. I put a groove behind it for something to hold on to. The grief is in the saxophones.”
Also announced today are tours of the UK, US and Europe which will take place during February, March and April next year.
