Christmas In Hawthorne - Ellis Island Sound

London multi-instrumentalists Peter Astor and David Sheppard cite "starry nights, Suffolkian backwoods, and gaps in the schedule" as the influences behind their brew of avant-folk and electro-organic post-rock. Delusions of Adequacy describe their sound as "a mini-orchestra of acoustic guitars, digital/analogue drum machines, 70s synths, and antique Atari computers". Since the project's formation in 1997, the duo have released a handful of seven inches, 2002's self-titled compilation of singles and remixes, and a pair of EPs ("Home Service" in 2003 and "Gene Pool" in 2006).
