Welsh indie rock artist Cate Le Bon will deliver their seventh studio album this fall.
Revealed today, Michelangelo Dying will be released on September 26 via Mexican Summer. The first single from the album titled “Heaven Is No Feeling” arrives with a music video directed by H. Hawkline, which can be seen here. The director said this about working on the visual:
“There are moments in life you can’t make up, that seem unfathomable, then they happen. Life calls you on a banana phone and tells you her oldest joke, everybody crowds around and you try to remember the words to your favourite song. If you were to ask me how we made this video, I couldn’t tell you. Cate watching her, watching her watching Cate. I will always feel honoured to work with Cate in whatever shape or form, it’s easy to forget how remarkable someone is when you’ve known them forever. ‘I want you to make me a new video.’ ‘Have you watched the old one yet?’ ‘No’ …Bravo!’"
Cate Le Bon will promote the album with tours across the U.K., Europe, and North America. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (June 6) at 10 a.m. local time here. Presale tickets will launch tomorrow (June 4).
