Review by Amanda Farah

All weirdness has a little sadness at heart»

Cate Le Bon releases new album 'Crab Day' via Turnstile. The material was recorded at Panoramic House studio, West Marin, California last spring and produced by Noah Georgson and Josiah Steinbrickit. It's ambitious return from the artist. While the album has a post-punk angularity about it in places, it's post-punk as reimagined by Bagpuss creator Oliver Postage. Songs such as 'Find Me' and 'Yellow Blinds, Cream Shadows' have a charming home-made feel to their lopsided gearshifts, jerky movements and quirky surrealism. It's eccentric and off-kilter but pop in a perfect way a la Robert Wyatt and Gruff Rhys.
