#23 | Cate Le Bon | Pompeii
Mexican Summer

Le Bon comes across as an old soul, not just by virtue of her ability to sit with opposing sentiments and urges on Pompeii, but sonically as well. The overall influence is esoteric ’80s, with a Siouxsie Sioux/Kate Bush mashup in Le Bon’s idiosyncratic low-high-low vocal style, which is both alluring and wholly her own. And Shoegaze is an apt benchmark for some of the more ethereal-but-noisy guitar/synth interplay on the album. [Read Erika Wolf’s Review]
