Album Of The Week: Cate Le Bon Michelangelo Dying

The most harrowing part of a breakup isn’t the moment it happens — it’s the disorienting calm that comes after. Left alone, orbiting oneself. Michelangelo Dying, Cate Le Bon’s seventh studio album, is suspended in this space: “No revelations. No conclusions. There is no reason. There is repetition and chaos.” Across these songs, the Welsh musician wades through the dissolution of a relationship using full psychedelic beams of sound not to make sense of the wreckage, but make room for it.
