Welsh art-pop iconoclast Cate Le Bon returns with Pompeii, her sixth full-length studio album and the highly anticipated follow-up to her Mercury Prize-nominated Reward. Released in 2022 via Mexican Summer, the album weaves together saxophones, bass grooves, psychedelia, and pop into a heady, hypnotic listening experience that is equal parts bewildering and deeply pleasurable.
Pompeii finds Le Bon at her most cohesive, crafting nine lush, mid-tempo, bass-driven tracks that feel unified by a singular artistic vision. With imagery as evocative as "cities built on monumental rage" and a "peacock moon," Le Bon proves herself a master of oblique, poetic songwriting — always opaque, never dull — making this album a richly rewarding listen from start to finish.
