The Broken Cradle is an Ambient, Electronic, and Neoclassical artist started in 2020 and is the solo work of Eric McLean, a musician of over 20 years.

Influenced by the likes of Nils Frahm, Alessandro Cortini, Brian Eno, and Olafur Arnalds, The Broken Cradle leans toward compositional ambient and neoclassical music that moves from soothing piano melodies to gritty and soaring synthetic atmospheres. His music tells a story through the moods and soundscapes, interposed with gentle felt piano and strings.
