Description:â??Pompejiâ?? ist Cate Le Bons sechstes Studioalbum und der Nachfolger ihres 2019er Mercury Nominierten Albums. Sicher: das Album trägt einen sagenumwobenen Titel, der die Apokalypse beschwört. Doch die Metapher verfinstert sich durch jede â??Dissektion der Unmittelbarkeitâ??, sagt Le Bon. Dabei will sie ihre Verbeugung in Richtung Orientierungslosigkeit nicht herunterspielen, die durch eine doppelte Katastrophe hervorgerufen wurde â?? die globale Pandemie plus diese kollidierende Ã?kologie des Klimanotstands. Zwei Traumata, die hier unheimlich mitschwingen. "Was wäre Deine letzte Geste?", fragt sie. Genauso wie der Vesuv aktiv bleibt, hat Pompeji seine Krisen überwunden, um das zu erschlieÃ?en, was Le Bon â??eine Ã?konomie der Zeitkrümmungâ?? nennt, in der das Leben rollt, sprudelt, faltet, schmilzt, aushärtet und sich rekonfiguriert, so unvorhersehbar wie Lava â?? oder eher Schall. Pompeji ist klanglich minimal, und seine Texte bewegen sich zwischen Selbstreflexion und Direktheit. Hauptsächlich am Bass geschrieben und ganz allein in einem â??ununterbrochenen Vakuumâ?? komponiert, spielt Le Bon, die im Moment gerade das neue Album von Devandra Banhardt produziert, hier jedes Instrument (auÃ?er Schlagzeug und Saxophone) und nahm das Album gröÃ?tenteils mit ihrem langjährigen Koproduzenten Samur Khouja auf. -
Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes digital download. 2022 release. Pompeii, Cate Le Bon's sixth full-length studio album and the follow up to 2019's Mercury-nominated Reward, bears a storied title summoning apocalypse, but the metaphor eclipses any 'dissection of immediacy,' says Le Bon. Sonically minimal in parts, it's lyrics jog between self-reflection and direct address. Written primarily on bass and composed entirely alone in an 'uninterrupted vacuum,' Le Bon plays every instrument (except drums and saxophones) and recorded the album largely by herself with long-term collaborator and co-producer Samur Khouja in Cardiff, Wales To leverage visionary control, Le Bon invented twisted types of discipline into her absurdist decision making. Primary goals in this project were to mimic the 'religious' sensibility in one of Tim Presley's paintings, which hung on the studio wall in Cardiff, Wales as a meditative image and was reproduced as a portrait of Le Bon for Pompeii's cover. Fist across the heart, stalwart and saintly: how to make 'music that sounds like a painting?' Cate asked herself. Enter piles of Pompeii's signature synths made on favorites such as the Yamaha DX7, amongst others; basslines inspired by 1980s Japanese city pop, designed to bring joyfulness and abandonment; vocal arrangements that add memorable depth to the melodic fabric of each song; long-term collaborator Stella Mozgawa's 'jazz-thinking' percussion patched in from quarantined Australia; and Khouja's encouraging presence.
