Talking of acoustic indie artists, I was recommended to listen to Dan Arborise a while back. He's very like John Martyn in that he gets noises out of the acoustic guitar that I'm sure were never put in there. I'm sure there's a synthesizer and studio trickery involved, but that's fine by me. They're there to be used. His lyrics have been compared to Nick Drake. I'm not familiar with Drake so I couldn't say.

Anyway, it's a very nice sound he's got, mellow and floaty. Unfortunately, there's not much of it on Last as yet, so once again, I'd suggest a trip to MySpace. Dan's page is here:

There's currently seven tracks on the player there. If you listen to nothing else I recommend "Under Your Spell".
