Gonglot

Frog Pocket (aka John Charles Wilson) hails from Scotland and Gonglot (his debut full length album) features songs culled from between 1999 and 2005, some originally self-released on his own Mouthmoth label.

Incorporating unquantised drum machine backing beats played by hand into his four-track, live fiddle, mandolin, processed guitar and vocals, Frog Pocket has maintained his credibility both as a Scottish musician and contemporary electronic performer. The folk-inflected melodies owe more to the Celtic side of things than the current vogue for American folk-rock/electronic crossover. It is a pastoral theme in electronic music running back through Boards Of Canada to Aphex Twin and originally Ultramarine. (godbrain.ch)
