Welsh psych-folk heroine Cate le Bon releases her third album Mug Museum on Tuesday and in honor of the occasion, she’s got two goodies for us: the sweetly intimate and slightly magical video above, and an entire stream of the aforementioned album below. Casey + Ewan (DJ Shadow, Los Campesinos!) direct the clip, which finds Le Bon flexing some mightily impressive pottery skills with a little help from her family, past and present. The song itself is a lovely drifter, shambling forward on a playful guitar figure and assisted by the woman’s slightly husky voice. And there’s plenty more where that came from — 10 songs’ worth, including “I Think I Knew” featuring Perfume Genius. Are you with her now?
