HSD Top 10 Albums 2016 - No 7

7 Cate Le Bon – Crab Day


Cate Le Bon is an artist and her art form is an eccentric and unique style of indie guitar music. I can’t think of any other similar sounding artists, although I’m sure she has plenty of influences, no doubt including Nico from The Velvet Underground. Cate Le Bon, the Welsh Nico!! Cate’s voice reaches a falsetto pitch at times whilst the music swirls and dances at arms length, creating its own almost dream like, off key patterns. Her lyrics, like the music, are intriguing, yet unknowable, lost in her own mind. She is an enigma, hidden behind thick black theatrical eye liner. I am looking forward to seeing her perform at Islington Assembly Hall on December 14th. Crab Day is a strange, captivating and rewarding album and an unexpected pleasure of 2016.
