Cate Le Bon’s seventh album, Michelangelo Dying, is a luminous, heart-wrought song cycle born from overwhelming heartbreak. Expanding the “machine-with-a-heart” sonics of Reward and Pompeii, she layers self-played guitars, sax, and percussion through pedals and filters, evoking Bowie, Laurie Anderson, and Nico in a shimmering green haze. Each track feels like a shard of the same broken mirror—elastic, repetitive, chaotic—capturing the wound of love mid-healing while exploring the exquisite tension between connection and profound solitude.
