Created from pure emotion and heartache, Cate Le Bon’s seventh album, Michelangelo Dying, emerged as an unexpected exorcism of love and loss. What began as a reluctant exploration of love transformed into a visceral, iridescent journey—capturing the raw sensation of a wound before it heals, even as it reopens. Musically, the album expands on the distinctive 'machine with a heart' sound developed in her previous works, Reward (2019) and Pompeii (2022), with Le Bon taking full control of production and performance. Guitars, saxophones, percussion, and vocals are processed through pedals and filters, yielding a silken, green-tinged sonic texture. Echoes of David Bowie, Nico, John McGeoch, and Laurie Anderson surface fleetingly, adding depth to this ever-evolving song cycle. Each track reflects and refracts the last—'a shard of the same broken mirror'—shifting in meaning and tone with every turn. As Le Bon states, there are no revelations or conclusions—only repetition, chaos, and the profound act of being alone. Michelangelo Dying is an immersive experience of love, humanity, and self-confrontation.
