Cate Le Bon

About the event

<p>Welsh songwriter, producer and avant-pop visionary <strong>Cate Le Bon</strong> brings her singular world of art-rock to ARRIVAL, performing music from her beguiling seventh album <em>Michelangelo Dying</em>.</p><p>Written between Hydra, Cardiff, London and Los Angeles and completed in the Californian desert, <em>Michelangelo Dying</em> is Le Bon&rsquo;s most emotionally direct work yet - a shimmering meditation on love, loss and the strange afterlife of both. The record expands the idiosyncratic sonic universe she&rsquo;s carved across acclaimed releases including <em>Reward</em> and P<em>ompeii</em>, blending warped guitars, spectral saxophone, motorik rhythms and surreal lyricism into something unmistakably her own.</p><p>Over the past decade, Le Bon has emerged as one of modern pop&rsquo;s most compelling voices both as a performer and as a sought-after producer helping shape records for artists including St. Vincent, Wilco &amp; Dry Cleaning. Her work nods to iconoclasts like David Bowie, Nico and Laurie Anderson, while remaining entirely her own strange and beautiful language.</p><p>On stage, Le Bon&rsquo;s band transforms these intricate recordings into a hypnotic live experience that weaves saxophone, jagged guitar, analogue textures and stark vocals into a performance that is equal parts art-rock theatre and emotional exorcism. For ARRIVAL, expect a spellbinding set from one of contemporary music&rsquo;s most distinctive and visionary artists.</p><p>Joined by hypnotic electronic pop artist <strong>No Bride</strong>.
