Typical Love by Cate Le Bon
Taken from the same session as Pompeii, “Typical Love” puts into effect Le Bon’s tools of angular precision against the singular groove of drummer Stella Mozgawa. Lacerated flecks of guitar and saxophone cut through the mix, revealing Le Bon’s descending vocals and svelte bassline. Co-directed by Stefan Ramírez Pérez alongside Le Bon’s longtime collaborator Phil Collins in Cologne, Germany, the “Typical Love” video was filmed on 16mm and pays homage to Henri-Georges Clouzot’s unfinished 1964 film Inferno. Once again, with “Typical Love,” Le Bon shows a commanding and dexterous touch.
"'Typical Love’ was a product of a rare jam session with dearest genius friend, Stella Mozgawa,” Le Bon says. “The outline, written on bass along to one of Stella's infectious grooves, was taken into the Pompeii sessions where I disassembled and reassembled it many times but it always felt like a second cousin to the other tracks so was put aside for a rainy day.”

Cate Le Bon is an artist hailing from Carmarthenshire, rural West Wales. Cate Le Bon’s solo work has always resisted pigeonholing, walking the tightrope between krautrock aloofness and heartbreaking tenderness; deadpan served with a twinkle in the eye, a flick of the fringe and a lick of the Telecaster.
