Gravenhurst Returns With New Album

'The Ghost In Daylight’ due on April 30th

Gravenhurst are set to return with new album ‘The Ghost In Daylight’ on April 30th.

Based in Bristol, Nick Talbot has helmed Gravenhurst for over a decade releasing some beautiful music in the process. Recently confirming that new material is in the pipeline, the project will resume with the release of ‘The Ghost In Daylight’.

Warp will again provide a home for Gravenhurst, with the album set to drop on April 30th. ClashMusic haven’t heard much from the full length as yet, although ‘The Ghost In Daylight’ is apparently an extremely varied work.

New cut ‘The Prize’ has emerged online. Taken from the upcoming album, ‘The Prize’ is stark, beautiful and deeply affecting.

A quick quote from Nick Talbot about the creation of ‘The Prize’: “So far I’ve eschewed all use of string sections as they seem a cheap short-cut to emotionally manipulating the listener; ’here’s a sad song, use a cello’. It can end up sounding pompous instead of epic. With ‘The Prize’ I feel I’ve written something that can pull it off”.

Continuing, the songwriter came out with this fantastic quote: “I like the idea of listening to Gravenhurst as being to some degree an active rather than passive experience. The songs offer clues and form maps to a place that is partly given, and partly open to the listener to construct as they wish.”

Gravenhurst are set to release ‘The Ghost In Daylight’ on April 30th.
