Belbury Poly is the main project from Jim Jupp (Eric Zann), the Ghost Box label co-founder responsible for the "Hauntology" genre. The sound is heavily influenced by the library-music perfected by Delia Derbyshire in her BBC Radiophonic Workshop sessions. While Belbury Poly derive the majority of their sound from the experimenters of early-electronics and vintage educational soundtracks, the added flavor for the Ghost Box label springs from graphic artist and co-founder Julian House, whose clinical, occult themes inject the "haunt" into Hauntology. "The Willows" invokes images of magical, wooden phantasmagoria that feel properly British while skirting on a sense of paranoid wonder.
