From the bewitching circular riff of the album's opener 'I Can't Help You' to the closing title track that sees Cate Le Bon accompanied by piano and the occasional burst of double-tacked clarinet, 'Mug Museum's reflective songwriting weaves around a richly detailed framework.
Like all museums it is a contemplative space, a personal world that is open to everyone. "A place of weighted hauntings and considered reconciliation, where you resolve and tailor your purpose and significance within your relationships"? is how Le Bon describes it.
As these ten songs attest, 'Mug Museum' is also a unique and dreamlike edifice and one that has been created by an artist at the height of their powers. Îà Featuring guest vocals from Perfume Genius.
