reviews
"The Four Fisherman is a project of mainly Ben McElroy, who receives help from a bunch of people on drums, double bass, clarinet, violins and cello. He was already present on a compilation by Dirty Demos, but here he's back with a debut EP of four tracks. The music couldn't have been further away from the Jackson release.
The music is folky with touches of country & western and psychedelica and would not have been out of place on Constellation Records or Static Caravan. Ben sings his songs with the strings in full support. 'Train Minus Train' is a lovely drone like piece of music, and '(Destroy) The Heart Machine/Summer Of 70' has a full lead of clarinet. Strange release this one, but it's quite nice. I think they should hunt for a real record deal."
