Oliver Cherer

For his most recent album, Hastings-based polymath Oliver Cherer (aka Dollboy) has, by his own admission, attempted to create "a kind of pagan folk music from a modern dark age." 

Retaining an attractive blend of organic instrumentation, unsettling electronic soundscapes and tender, intimate harmonies that have become his trademark over the years, Cherer has produced an album of beautiful, pastoral reminisces and uneasy nostalgia on the subject of loss that perhaps sits somewhere between Robert Wyatt, North Sea Radio Orchestra and Alexander Tucker.
