No Skips with Cate Le Bon

Over the last two decades, Welsh musician and producer Cate Le Bon has built a catalogue of soft-worn post-punk and abstract art-pop, and a sound entirely her own.

She’s also played a role in shaping the work of some truly beloved indie acts over the last decade, from Dry Cleaning to Kurt Vile, Wilco, St Vincent and Horsegirl.

In this conversation with Pam Boland, recorded following the release of her latest release Michelangelo Dying last year, Cate share the songs that have most influenced her creatively, her love of physical media and the making of her latest album.

Cate’s No Skip songs:

The Sad Skinhead – Faust IV

Arch of Motion – Linnea Talp

Just Talk – A.C Marias

Hanky Panky Nohow – John Cale

Make 1,2 – Arthur Russell
