Gravenhurst's second release, Flashlight Seasons, proves
to be an excellent showcase for singer/songwwriter Nick
Talbot. The trio from Bristol have delivered a warm,
whimsical collection of songs, the simpleness of which
only enhances their sheer excellence. The songs are
predominantly folks songs, sung with that sixth-form
romanticism that is reminiscent of Stephen Duffy during
the Lilac Time's more folky periods. One could also be
forgiven for comparisons to Nick Drake and Burt Jensch,
especially on tracks such as "The Ice Tree", where it's
just a lone troubadour with his guitar.
At times, heartwrenching, these songs have not been
written by a man who has something to celebrate, rather
the subject matter mainly deals with the unhappy
experience of life, love lost or love never gained. "I
understand anger, I know what it's for" declares Talbot
at the end of the "Tunnels", which prepares us for much
of what is to come. The recluse of "Bluebeard" just
desires to be left alone, as "you can't rely on those you
turn to, they turn against you". The harmonica solo could
have been lifted directly from Springsteen's Nebraska.
Although definitely not a Saturday night album, this is
the perfect Sunday evening album. These 10 songs have
been written with intelligence and honesty, together with
the simple and elegantly played acoustic guitars (with a
few "electronic devices" here and there), this is a very
fine listen indeed.
Enjoy!
