Show Notes
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 in April of 2026 following the release of her album Michelangelo Dying, 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
You can catch the No Skips segment every Wednesday on Breakfast with Pam on RTRFM 92.1 or at rtrfm.com.au Listen and stream full episodes every week on the RTRFM website or wherever you get your podcasts.
Produced and edited by Danielle Rafaelle and Pamela Boland.
