Yet more Canadian indie types with intelligence and imagination? Share have their home in Halifax, Novia Scotia though, rather than the saturated Montreal of The Dears, Arcade Fire and A Silver Mt. Zion. Unlike their Quebecois cousins though, Share…

He looks like Morrissey and talks like Stewart Lee, but Ben Esser is a real individual when it comes to music. 24 and living London, there's the danger of the young musician being swept up but 2009's tide of 80s synth pop throwbacks, desperately…
