Cate Le Bon - "Pompeii" Standard - Black Vinyl label_Upbeat Records Half-speed remasterPompeii, 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.

Written primarily on bass and composed entirely alone in an 'uninterrupted vacuum,' Le Bon plays every instrument (except drums and saxophones)
