Oliver Cherer
'Sir Ollife Leigh & Other Ghosts' is the
first LP Oliver Cherer has chosen to issue
using his own name, previously working exclusively under the Dollboy moniker. The record
examines loss and the end of life, with
artists such as Robert Wyatt, Martin Carthy
and Syd Barrett initially coming to mind as
musical touchpoints.

Tremendous. He does like Robert Wyatt, doesn't he? And why not? Best thing I've heard and learned this week. Never heard of him before but will have to put that right. I note that he also does an Ivor Cutler cover (see Soundcloud). Good fellow.
