The title of singer Cate Le Bon’s latest release, Mug Museum, conveys a simple whimsy, along with the special offer of a handcrafted mug accessory, but fans know of the brooding complexity that lies beneath its quirky exterior. Often compared to the dark folk songstress Nico, Le Bon’s music is moody, captivating, and infused with a fear of mortality. Her graceful, bewitching delivery is the perfect accompaniment to a stark winter evening and a cup of hot brew.
