Cate Le Bon has announced a new album, Michelangelo Dying. The follow-up to 2022’s Pompeii will land September 26 via Mexican Summer. The hazy, enchanting lead single, ‘Heaven Is No Feeling’, arrives with a music video directed by longtime collaborator H. Hawkline. Check it out and find the album cover below.
Sharing production duties with collaborator Samur Khouja, Cate Le Bon made the new LP between the Greek island of Hydra, Cardiff, London, Los Angeles, and the Californian desert. It features Euan Hinshelwood on saxophone, Paul Jones on piano, Dylan Hadley on drums, and Valentina Magaletti on drums and percussion, while the legendary John Cale appears on one song.
Commenting on the new video, Hawkline said:
There are moments in life you canʼt make up, that seem unfathomable, then they happen. Life calls you on a banana phone and tells you her oldest joke, everybody crowds around and you try to remember the words to your favorite song. If you were to ask me how we made this video, I couldnʼt tell you. Cate watching her, watching her watching Cate. I will always feel honored to work with Cate in whatever shape or form; itʼs easy to forget how remarkable someone is when youʼve known them forever. “I want you to make me a new video.” “Have you watched the old one yet?” “No” …Bravo!
