专辑简介
Gravenhurst is a band from Bristol, England signed to Warp Records. Their latest album, Fires in Distant Buildings, was released in October 2005. The singer, guitarist and songwriter, Nick Talbot, is also one half of self-described "Victorian Clockworktronica" ensemble, Bronnt Industries Kapital.
Nick Talbot also recorded some solo works under the pseudonym of Exercise One (the name presumably taken from the song by Joy Division, of whom Nick is a known admirer). These releases were “Sonar Valley” (HUSH001) and “Serial” (HUSH004) on his own Silent Age label.
Gravenhurst's music is often described as dark and highly atmospheric, veering between the noisy shoegazing sound of guitar bands such as My Bloody Valentine, and the more traditional singer-songwriter territory of Simon and Garfunkel, Bert Jansch and Nick Drake. Earlier releases were grounded in acoustic and folk styles, while Fires in Distant Buildings made moves towards psychedelic rock. Flying Saucer Attack, a cult Bristol outfit who released a series of feedback-drenched, folk-inspired albums in the early 1990s, have been cited by Talbot as a major influence.
Gravenhurst have recorded cover versions of Hüsker Dü's "Diane", and "See My Friends" by The Kinks.
A constant in the Gravenhurst sound is Talbot's fragile voice and unsettling and mysterious lyrical themes.
Talbot keeps a weblog entitled "The Police Divers Notebook".
A fifth album is due for release on September 10th 2007. It is entitled "The Western Lands", and the tracklisting is: 01. Saints 02. She Dances 03. Hollow Men 04. Song Among The Pine 05. Trust 06. The Western Lands 07. Farewell Farewell (a Richard Thompson cover) 08. Hourglass 09. Grand Union Canal 10. The Collector
The album will be preceded by a single, "Trust", with B-sides "Underfoot" and "The Foundry".
