David A Jaycock
https://davidajaycock.bandcamp.com
David A. Jaycock has long been something of an outlier, his music skirting the periphery of traditional folk, hauntology and the whimsy of 1970s English baroque pop. Too conceptual to be trad, too tuneful to be avant-garde, his is a music of edgelands, situated somewhere between David Tibet and Robyn Hitchcock. His last solo album, 2018’s The Decline of the Mobile Library, was entirely instrumental, and showcased his love for the spooky-charming side of British twentieth-century music, all rickety synths, folk-rock rhythms, gentle but highly accomplished guitar playing and a smattering of soft piano, on the very limit of perception. Prior to that, he made two excellent albums with Marry Waterson, on which she did most of the singing while he provided the beautiful and subtle musical backdrop.
