SUMMARY:Ben McElroy plus Antique Doll
DESCRIPTION:Folk based experiments\, drone based droning. \nBen is a maker 
 of ‘shivering seabeds of sound’ (The Guardian\, no less!)BEN McELROY\n
 \nBen is an ambient/folk musician originally from The Wirral but now resid
 ing in Nottingham. He combines acoustic instruments (guitar\, viola\, clar
 inet\, whistles and vocals) with a laptop to create folk inspired soundsca
 pes."He first made music as a teenager experimenting with cassette recorde
 rs. His adult process may have upgraded to a laptop\, but his primary tool
 s remain doggedly lo-fi: accordions in such a state of distress that they 
 fall apart before the end of a song\, disintegrating audio equipment\, plu
 s well-worn string instruments\, whistles and guitars. All often come toge
 ther to create a shivering seabed of sound: when his barely there vocals a
 ppear\, as they do on the title track\, it evokes a haunting." The Guardia
