Cate Le Bon

In the organizer's words:

The work of Welsh multidisciplinary artist, producer and sound architect Cate Le Bon has long defied categorization. Across six albums, including the Mercury Prize-nominated "Reward" and most recently the critically acclaimed "Pompeii", she has developed a unique voice: part surrealist, part sculptor, always in tune with the emotional undercurrents that shape her art. Her production credits - "Cousin" by Wilco, "Phonetics On and On" by Horsegirl, and St. Vincent's Grammy-winning "All Born Screaming" - are testament to her deep confidence in her ability to transform soundscapes into intimate, idiosyncratic worlds.

Born in rural Carmarthenshire, Wales, and now based in Cardiff, Le Bon's creative journey has been shaped by both solitude and collaboration. Her long-standing collaborations with co-producer Samur Khouja and saxophonist Euan Hinshelwood are integral to her evolving sound - a blend of analog warmth, filtered vocals and sculptural arrangements that feel both alien and deeply human.

Their forthcoming seventh album "Michelangelo Dying" springs from a place of raw emotion and reluctant vulnerability. The album is a dazzling song cycle that rips open wounds even as it attempts to preserve them - a shimmering, multi-layered meditation on love, loss and the unrecognizable self.

With a moving guest appearance by John Cale and a sonic palette that blends guitars, saxophones and synthesizers into something both intimate and expansive, Le Bon once again invites us into a world where feeling overrides form and abstraction becomes its own kind of truth.
