This
summer Gilroy Mere will release the follow-up album to his sell-out
2018 Clay Pipe release ‘Green Line’. The new record ‘Adlestrop’
stays with the transport theme, but
is inspired
by
the railway stations lost
in the
Beeching cuts of the1960s.
On
this flexi-disc EP, which is the forerunner to the album, Gilroy Mere
plays homage to the deserted railway station of St Leonards West
Marina, close to his home in Sussex. The EP comes with a cut-out
paper model of the station designed by Gary Willis.
St
Leonards West Marina was the first railway station to serve Hastings.
It was opened by the Brighton, Lewes and Hastings Railway on
November 7th 1846 as part of what became the East Coastway Line.
After a chequered history involving feuding train companies it fell
into disuse, was eventually closed in 1967 and subsequently
demolished. Today there is a carpet warehouse where the station once
stood. Although it is rarely noticed and overgrown with Buddleia, the
old down platform can still be seen, as the train rumbles past on its
way to Bexhill and Brighton.
Trading
as Gilroy Mere, Dollboy, Rhododendron, and Australian Testing Labs as
well as his own name, Oliver Cherer has meandered his way through the
backwaters of left of centre English folk, ambient and electronic
music, issuing numerous albums of original music to much critical
acclaim via highly regarded boutique labels such as Static Caravan,
Wayside and Woodland, Polytechnic Youth, Second Language, Deep
Distance, and Awkward Formats.
