The product of all-consuming heartache, her feelings overrode her reluctance to write an album about love, and in the process became a kind of exorcism. What emerges is a wonderfully iridescent attempt to photograph a wound before it closes up - but which in doing so, picks at it too. \u003cbr\u003e Musically, there is a continuation and expansion of a sound - a machine with a heart - that has taken shape over her last two records (2019’s ‘Reward’ and 2022’s ‘Pompeii’) as Le Bon has increasingly taken control of the playing and producing herself. As guitars and saxophones are pushed through pedals and percussion and voices are fed through filters, an iridescent, green and silky sound emerges, with flashes of the artistic singularities of David Bowie, Nico, John McGeoch and Laurie Anderson surfacing and disappearing below the waterline throughout. \u003cbr\u003e What we’re left with is an ever-changing, continuous entity, a kind of song cycle. Each iteration reflects and progresses the last, each one a shard of the same broken mirror - shifting, glinting, concealing and revealing, depending on how it is turned in the light. There are ultimately, Cate asserts, “No revelations. No conclusions. There is no reason. There is repetition and chaos. I eventually allowed myself a vacant mind to experience it without resistance and without searching fora revelation or order to any of it.” \u003cbr\u003e An exercise in the viscerality of life, of love, of humanity for both listener and artist, ‘Michelangelo Dying’ knows what it is to hold, to be held and to be exquisitely, profoundly alone. “The characters are interchangeable” concludes Cate, “but at the end of it all, it’s me meeting myself.” \u003cbr\u003e “Her music has depth, strangeness and wonder: ornate synths meet lugubrious brass, slivers of guitar, kaleidoscopic lyrics and a voice that can be sweet and dusky, elastic and chilling.” - The Guardian\u003cbr\u003e “Le Bon’s creative power remains in the circuitous jaggedness with which she navigates pop and poetry, uncertainty and revelation.” - Pitchfork\u003cbr\u003e “Her finest work yet” - St. Vincent \u003cbr\u003e September - November 2025 UK \/ EU tour. \u003cbr\u003e Available to independent retailers on Bone White vinyl. \u003cbr\u003e Press - Reviews \u0026amp; features in The Guardian The Line of Best Fit (cover with exclusive photoshoot). \u003cbr\u003e Radio - BBC 6 Music premiere, interview with St Vincent, NPR, KEXP session, 3voor12 session, 2 Metre session.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eJerome \u003cbr\u003eLove Unrehearsed \u003cbr\u003eMothers of Riches\u003cbr\u003eIs It Worth It (Happy Birthday)?\u003cbr\u003ePieces of My Heart \u003cbr\u003eAbout Time \u003cbr\u003eHeaven Is No Feeling\u003cbr\u003eBody As A River\u003cbr\u003eRide (featuring John Cale)\u003cbr\u003eI Know What’s Nice\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mexican Summer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45252460118172,"sku":"MEX353-0","price":27.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/w_a7e7d22c-8a58-4061-90a0-9041fdc4688e.jpg?v=1756754448","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/cate-le-bon-michelangelo-dying-bone-white-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
