Following a sold out UK tour, a stint at SXSW and a US tour with Warpaint, Cate Le Bon releases her new single ‘Sisters’ on 5th May.Listen to it here:
The third single to be taken from her third album the delectable ’Mug Museum’. The more upbeat restrained West-coast strut of ‘Sisters’ , intersperesed with artfully jangling guitars and pointed dancing hammond organ notes, explores the loss of her grandmother and the female relationships in her life. Cate says:
“Following the death of my maternal Grandmother I felt a very palpable shift in the roles that wed all become accustomed to within the female line of the family which, for the first time, had me mulling over the importance of my place and purpose within this female chain says Le Bon The albums theme emerged from and circulating around these maternal familial relationships and this period of a calm, lengthy, intent consideration in turn drew other relationships into the Mug Museum.”
