The Welsh singer/songwriter Cate Le Bon got her first big start in 2008 performing with Gruff Rhys’ electro-hip-hop group Neon Neon. She subsequently took a one eighty and released a twee folk album called Me Oh My that received high praise for its blissful instrumentation and honey-sweet vocals paired with Le Bon’s shadowy, death-obsessed lyrics (“Why oh why does the dark knock on me/I fought the night and the night broke me”). Me Oh My‘s follow-up is this year’s CYRK, which finds Le Bon further exploring her quirks and kaleidoscopic tastes. The record runs the gamut from jangly piano rock (“Falcon Eyed”) to breezy, high-pitched pop (“Fold The Cloth”) to the fuzzy, whimsical title track, on which Le Bon declares, “People do change and often come and go/But I’m waving flags for the long haul.” With Charles Leo Gebhardt IV.
