Cate Le Bon announces new album, Pompeii

Cate Le Bon has announced a new album. On February 4, she’ll release Pompeii, her sixth album, via Mexican Summer. The first single is “Running Away,” which you can hear below.

Le Bon says in a press release: “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.”
