Departing from his previously instrumental-only
blend of acoustic and electronic sounds, Dollboy
delivers A Beard Of Bees as his first 'song'-based
album.
The first thing to strike you about the album is just
how exceptionally well put together the production
is. 'One Liner' introduces itself with soft blipping
drums and warm swells of bass, with acoustic
guitar and vocals resting comfortably alongside the
digital elements.
Dollboy distinguishes himself from so many other
laptop singer-songwriters by not allowing his voice
to be consumed by effects and filtering.
The untreated delivery really reinforces that this isn't
just another case of an electronica guy having a go
at 'proper songs', and on first listen it would seem
that Oliver Cherer (for he is Dollboy) is giving Tunng
a run for their money at the top of the folktronica tree.
Splendid, buy.
