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. Sonically dense and laden in synths Le Bon revels in the throes of heart ache, though her disarming and earnest narrative threads.
They spoke about the writing process of the album and adapting it for the live shows later in June.
Featuring insights on the nutritional value of hemp and regulation changes on Marijuana Media with Chris, thanks to The Hempstore. Later, Elle speaks with Cate Le Bon ahead of her show as part of Strange Universe Winter Edition. Plus, a pre-show warmup for the first show in the Marlon Williams Tā te Manawa tour with guests Gin, Rosetta, Kaitlyn and Joel.
Another stunning day in Tāmaki Makaurau. Today on Moring Glory we had music from Marlon Williams (one from the vault, 'Come To Me' recorded live at 95bFM) ahead of his show at The Civic tonight, as well as fabulous new tracks by Drifting Clouds and Takatapunani. During the show we also caught up with the director of the French Film Festival and Sola Rosa, with Andrew Spraggon telling us what to expect from his new tour.
This week on Sages of the Ages our two chronomagical comrades bring you a bunch of tunes directly from 1996. And because it's NZ Music Month, they're all bangers directly from Aotearoa. Including artists such as The Mutton Birds, Thorazine Shuffle, and Tall Dwarfs. They also bring you the latest on unleaded petrol, Mixed Member Proportional, and the Oceanic Football Confederation.
Whakarongo mai!
