Cate Le Bon announces Pompeii, her sixth full-length studio album, out February 24th, 2022.
In conjunction, she presents its lead single/video, “Running Away,” and shares dates for her North American, European, and UK tour. Written primarily on bass and composed entirely alone in an “uninterrupted vacuum,” Le Bon plays every instrument (except drums and saxophones) and recorded the album largely by herself with long-term collaborator and co-producer Samur Khouja in Cardiff, Wales. Enforced time and space pushed boundaries, leading to an even more extreme version of Le Bon’s studio process – as exits were sealed, she granted herself “permission to annihilate identity.”
