The melodies of Bess Of Bedlam draw inspiration from '70s English folk music (Shirley Collins, Vashti Bunyan, Steeleye Span) and the many harmonic surprises may remind you of the late '60s pop music (The Free Design, The United States of America, Sagittarius). The arrangements use a wide range of instruments; both classic and electronic pianos, acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, dobro and analog synth from the '70s.
