Elle spoke to Cate Le Bon on the emotional core of her latest album Michaelangelo Dying. Le Bon’s thematic arc of the album, an enigmatic take on the pit of heart break.

They spoke about the writing process of the album and adapting it for the live shows later in June.
Elle spoke to Tom Dowse (guitar) and Nick Buxton (drums), of Dry Cleaning, ahead of their show at the Hollywood Avondale, on 3 June.
