Cate Le Bon

In the organizer's words:

With Pompeii, Cate Le Bon's sixth and highly acclaimed album, the multi-instrumentalist, composer and sought-after producer and collaborator (with Wilco, Devendra Banhart, John Grant, H. Hawkline, Deerhunter, Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile, among others) has delivered an album that floats in time. The songs feel both current and immediate as well as reactionary and Dada-esque in their persistence, playful, satirical and surreal.

The follow-up to 2019's Mercury-nominated album Reward has a title that evokes the apocalypse, but the metaphor eclipses any "dissection of immediacy", says Le Bon. As Bradford Cox aptly notes of Le Bon, "there are artists who look inward or outward, and then there are the very rare ones who go beyond both places."

In November, Cate Le Bon will be on tour with this very album. She will be stopping off at Nochtspeicher on 13.11.
