Crumbling Ghost are a London-based heavy psychedelic folk rock group led by Matt Atkins. Their sound draws on traditional folk as well as doom, stoner rock and heavier psychedelic rock, with influences that range from Martin Carthy and Pentangle to Sleep and Electric Wizard.

The group play a mix of folk material, progressive spacey improvisation and dense, riff-driven sections associated with doom metal and related styles. Their debut album combines those elements into a distinctive blend rather than following a conventional rock format.

Crumbling Ghost begin live activity by performing their first gig as Damo Suzuki’s band of sound carriers. They then appear on bills with a wide range of acts, including Stinking Lizaveta, Roadsaw, Shonen Knife, Mary Epworth, Bearsuit, Invasion, Stereolab and the Lambeth Wind Orchestra.
