Cate Le Bon: 5 songs live in the studio (2 Meter Sessions, 2022)

Live session (5 songs) + interview with Cate Le Bon on Dutch tv show "2 Meter Sessies". Filmed on March 26, 2022 in StudiOwz in Wales. Met Nederlandse ondertiteling "Pompeii", Cate Le Bon’s sixth full-length studio album and the follow up to 2019’s Mercury-nominated "Reward" , bears a storied title summoning apocalypse, but the metaphor eclipses any “dissection of immediacy,” says Le Bon. Pompeii is sonically minimal in parts, and its lyrics jog between self-reflection and direct address. Vulnerability, although “obscured,” challenges Le Bon’s tendencies towards irony. The songs of Pompeii feel suspended in time, both of the moment and instant but reactionary and Dada-esque in their insistence to be playful, satirical, and surreal.

Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world. Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993). The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands. • Subscribe to our Youtube-channel for more unique music sessions: https://bit.ly/2OX4S8t • Playlist with over 150 well-known 2 Meter Sessions clips since 1993: https://bit.ly/38fbO9I • Listen to 2 Meter Sessions on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39vt6iS • http://www.2metersessions.com •   / 2metersessions   •   / 2metersessies   === #CateLeBon
