Cate Le Bon Announces Pompeii

Pompeii is out February 4th! - Lead single "Running Away" is out now and an upcoming US/UK/EU tour has been announced. Cate Le Bon's sixth full-length studio album Pompeii is out February 4th! Written primarily on bass and composed entirely alone in an "uninterrupted vacuum," the record is by turns minimal and opulent, peculiar and beautiful, vulnerable and obscure, making Pompeii another essential collection of songs from Cate. In conjunction, she presents its lead single/video, "Running Away," directed by longtime collaborator Casey Raymond and recorded in The Factory in Porth, Wales. Dates for Cate Le Bon's North American, UK, and European tour are below.   Listen to "Running Away" Cate Le Bon - Running Away (Official Video) Photo by Huw Evans  "'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.  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." - Cate Le Bon    Pre-order Pompeii   Pompeii LPs, CDs, and cassettes are available to pre-order now.
