The Willows

Belbury Poly

Analog synths and pastoral prog-rock that feel like a misremembered 1970s educational film. A foundational document of the British hauntology movement.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the title track's synth melody feels like it's being broadcast from a distant, decaying radio tower.
The sudden, jarring transition into the brief, unsettling field recordings of 'Wildspot'.
The driving, motorik rhythm of 'Farmer's Angle' that suggests a purposeful but eerie journey through the countryside.
