Gravenhurst were a British band from Bristol whose music is a mixture of rock , folk and electronic elements.
history
Frontman Nick Talbot wrote his first pieces back in 1997. He ended his project The Assembly Communications in 2000 after the death of a bandmate. Shortly thereafter, he founded his own label, Silent Age Records, and in 2002 released his single-handedly produced debut album Internal Travels there under the name Gravenhurst .
Gravenhurst were finally signed in 2004 by the British electronica record label Warp Records . The re-release of the second album Flashlight Seasons made the group's popularity rise abruptly, as Warp Records was previously known primarily for electronic music. Despite good reviews, the album sold only moderately. Since the release of their third album Fires in Distant Buildings , the group has been assisted in live performances by Huw Cooksley.
Nick Talbot passed away on December 2, 2014 at the age of 37.
Trivia
The soundtrack of the film A Friend of Me by Sebastian Schipper (with Daniel Brühl and Jürgen Vogel ), which came out in cinemas in October 2006, is mainly based on the music of Gravenhurst.
