Cate Le Bon

[4] As a record producer, Le Bon has worked with Deerhunter, John Grant, H. Hawkline, Kurt Vile, Josiah Steinbrick, Wilco and Devendra Banhart.

Le Bon was born on 4 March 1983 in Penboyr, Carmarthenshire, Wales, and first gained public attention when she supported Gruff Rhys (of the Super Furry Animals) on his 2007 solo UK tour.

[5] She also self-released the double A-side debut single "No One Can Drag Me Down" / "Disappear" (described by Gruff Rhys as "Bobbie Gentry and Nico fight over a Casio keyboard; melody wins!")

Le Bon worked alongside Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's Megan Childs, who contributed violin, and Super Furry Animals and Thrills collaborator John Thomas, who added pedal steel.

Le Bon released her fourth studio album, Crab Day, on 15 April 2016 on Drag City to generally favourable reviews.

[9] The album was produced by Josiah Steinbrick and Noah Georgeson,[10] and again featured Stephen Black (bass) and Huw Evans (guitar), with Stella Mozgawa (drums).

In 2018, Le Bon signed with Brooklyn based record label Mexican Summer (Ariel Pink, Jessica Pratt, Connan Mockasin).

Her nervy assessments of the world are filled with equal parts suspense and heart, and beautifully zany riffs, where the feeling of being frayed by uncertainty comes together into a strangely comforting patchwork.
