Welsh songwriter Cate Le Bon's distinctive voice and smart arrangements manifested as a dark, looming take on psychedelic pop over the course of multiple critically acclaimed solo albums, side projects, and production for others. Though earlier albums had hints of a folk influence, her spindly guitar leads often stole the show, tending toward more distorted and demented forms. Released in 2013, Mug Museum came after a move to Los Angeles, and boasted some of Le Bon's clearest, most engaging songcraft, as well as a guest appearance from Perfume Genius. Along with her active solo career (2016's Crab Day, 2019's Reward, 2022's Pompeii), Le Bon has collaborated with fellow warped pop purveyor Tim Presley in a side project called DRINKS, as well as taking a producer role for indie royalty like Eleanor Friedberger and Deerhunter.
