About this item

‘The Ghost In Daylight’, an evocative and potent alchemy of mournful guitar work and haunting vocals, follows a four year silence from Bristol’s Gravenhurst.

Gravenhurst (aka Nick Talbot) is a respected artist, lyricist, poet and satirist; part of a truly British lineage stretching through Jarvis Cocker, Neil Hannon and Morrissey to name a few. It’s been almost five years since the release of his acclaimed third album ‘The Western Lands’, yet support at media for Gravenhurst has only grown. The album is evocative of a dark and atmospheric place, ever-changing and conjured from disparate ingredients.

Gravenhurst’s roots lie in the melodic noise of My Bloody Valentine, the lush vocal harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel, the alchemical guitars of Richard Thompson and Johnny Marr, and the widescreen ambient visions of Brian Eno.

“Seriously wonderful” - Lauren Laverne, 6Music.

“‘The Ghost In Daylight’ is a wondrous thing” - Quietus.

“It sounds so beautiful” - Laura Snapes, NME.
