    If there’s any justice, Mug Museum should break Le Bon out of her current cult status. [Dec 2013]

    Although a bit more polished sounding than past endeavours, Le Bon is blessed enough with both sound melodic sense and a strain of Welsh peculiarity that lends Mug Museum a singular sound.

    This is strange, boutique folk-pop with a vitalised imagination--a rewarding listen, and then some.

    In addition to Hadreas’s wavering vocals, Le Bon also received instrumental contributions from Nick Murray (White Fence), Sweet Baboo and H. Hawkline to help create her most experimental and impressive album to date.

    Most of Mug Museum is bare and direct, quaint and unassuming, but Le Bon makes a rather grand occasion out of it--she's a master curator and consummate immortalizer.

    If at times it feels akin to a parallel world kept behind glass, touching from a distance, it’s a soundscape alive with enchanting melody and evocative poetry.

    Mug Museum lacks any sort of emotional dialogue with the listener.
