		<description><![CDATA[The lost young man toting a battered guitar and a fistful of broken dreams has now become a mainstay of mainstream post-Mumford British pop culture. Luckily, York singer-songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich has more in common with the stark confessionals of Nick Drake. The devil’s in the details here: songs that sound prosaic at first peel away to reveal [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=themusicboxblog.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9725771&amp;post=777&amp;subd=themusicboxblog&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Yes, the seminal Canadian indie-rockers are on an ‘indefinite hiatus’, to allow the band members a break from bickering and time to concentrate on their side projects. But with frontman Spencer Krug’s head planted firmly up his own arse with his dreary side-project Moonface.

Her second, now with indie Bella Union, is a precious mix of childlike insouciance and adolescent anxiety.

		<description><![CDATA[For an album keen to avoid sounding “too hippy-dippy or cosmic”, Louisiana-born Brooklynite Julianna Barwick’s Asthmatic Kitty debut is distinctly starry-eyed. It all kicks off with ‘Envelop’ – a flurry of swaddling vocal mantras, whitewashed by reams of effervescent reverb, until it all fades into distant echo and piano tinkle – in short, a track [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=themusicboxblog.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9725771&amp;post=754&amp;subd=themusicboxblog&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
