'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.
From 'Sir Ollife Leigh & Other Ghosts' this
is 'When We Shut Down'.
And in case you're not familiar with his previous work, here's Cherer in Dollboy mode, with the
beautiful 'One Liner' from 2009's 'A Beard of
Bees'.
