Following hot on the reels of a sell out Cassette only print, Irony Bored Records [& Tapes] are pleased to announce the full European digital, vinyl and CD release of Cate Le Bon’s magnificent debut album Me Oh My!****************************************
**************************************************************************
A new force in song craft, Le Bon grew up in Cardiff’s infamous French quarter and befitting a songwriter who only writes in the dark, this album is a heady and highly personal Gallic stew of equal parts Nico, Malkmus and the chronicler’s own emotional observations on the impossibility of existence. ****************************************************
Artfully composed with a classic five a side formation, this carefully constructed album boasts a concise palette of instrumentation played live by Cate and a fluid band of close friends. Perfectly illuminating her writing skills with understated menace and beauty.

i was expecting this album since i heard the beautiful "disappear" on bearded ladies compilation ... definitely one of two best albums of the year :) i'm desperately looking for the vinyl edition of the album (as mentioned on your myspace page): is this edition already available ? if not, is it planned to be released before the end of the year ?
Really love 'Me oh My' - most likely album of the year (unless someone else rushes something pretty fantastic out really quickly!).... very wonderful stuff indeed!
Thank you so much... My EP, A Moment to Break, is now available on iTunes and Amazon. You can also join my mailing list at www.jamielynnnoon.com-- I couldn't be more grateful for the love and support!
