The Rural Tradition
People may've already seen it on Boomkat. They say:
"Sounding remarkably like a down-and-out Nick Drake, Poidevin strings together an album's worth of beautifully dilapidated acoustic narratives, intercut with detuned instrumental interludes spun on xylophone chimes, accordion, melodica and of course, acoustic guitar."

It's quite nice if you like stripped-back acoustica, plus you can download it for free from a link on his MySpace. Mostly, though, he just seems so apathetically moribund that I'd quite like him to do well. His MySpace profile has his record label listed as "seems unlikely". How CUTE!
Tell all your tastemaker friends.
