Cate Le Bon is here to discuss her lovely new album Michelangelo Dying, moving closer to home in Cardiff, her initial reticence about writing a record based on declarative sentiments about a failed relationship, why she invoked an iconic artist in expressing herself through her own art, the concept of aspirational jealousy, spirituality and gratitude, collaborating with John Cale on a song and thoughts about the Velvet Underground, producing records like Cousin by Wilco, touring, writing new songs, other future plans, and much more.
