And as an additional point, it’s also great to see Warp Records continuing to support a broader range of music.
It might not grab you instantly, but Gravenhurst make a deep, broad, autumnal sound, and this album shows them maintain that distinctive tone, whilst exploring new paths.

 >>>Indiepop.it: Gravenhurst Interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It is a word used for works that waste their superfluos things, while the appeal of Nick Talbot's (aka Gravenhurst) sophomore album is in the maturity, in the painstaking smoothness- in the fascinating and sinister deepness of harmonizations merged with cinematic images suspendeded in the fog of one's awareness.
I've been going through a period of listening to Bert Jansch and Neil Young a lot, also Crescent (the Bristol band -not 'The Crescent'); their latest album 'By the Roads and the Fields' is unique.
Anyway, I only discovered Nick Dake after Gravenhurst had started; the original influences on the guitars and vocals in Gravenhurst were Simon and Garfunkel and The Smiths.
