Pompeii (Cate Le Bon album)

Pompeii is the sixth studio album by Welsh singer and producer Cate Le Bon, released on 4 February 2022 by Mexican Summer.

Background and recording
Le Bon began working on the album during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales, in a Cardiff Victorian terrace owned by fellow Welsh musician Gruff Rhys.

Composition
Musically, Pompeii takes on "penetrating" art pop. It is also influenced by Japanese city pop, with the style reflected in Le Bon's synth work.
