While The Ghost in Daylight purports to continue Gravenhurst's themes of "compulsion, degradation, and the possibility of transcendence," it represents another transition to a more soothing tone, adding an icy despair to Talbot's earlier folk-oriented releases. There's a delicate alchemy to The Ghost in Daylight that can feel precious and a tad forced when compared to The Western Lands, which easily navigated torrid intensity and softer sounds within a single song.

Album · 2012 · 10 Songs. It feels like it’s been eons since the last Gravenhurst outing, but a mere five years have passed since 2007’s brooding and beautiful The Western Lands. On The Ghost in Daylight, Nick Talbot’s dark storytelling takes a fairly homogenous tone, much like a Mark Kozelek or Bon Iver record does. The pace and timbre are set by the first track-on Circadian, brushed snares and cymbals, Talbot’s hushed singing, and acoustic fingerpicking are set over pillowy washes of murmuring synths. Settle in for a finely nuanced musical excursion that takes its time to unravel.

There’s always some added pressure after a long break between albums and it’s been five years since his previous effort The Western Lands, an album of feedback-drenched folk that showcased Talbot’s ability to achieve restrained grandeur while still sounding organic. Talbot aims for the former but abandons the latter on The Ghost in Daylight, an exercise in drab over-calculation. The rest of the album does not follow suit. Multiple tracks descend into extended codas and meander long after reaching their emotional plateaus. Talbot attempts to recreate Radiohead’s haunting atmospherics, but that’s the whole thing-it sounds like an attempt to recreate instead of Talbot trusting the idiosyncrasies of his songwriting.

Nick Talbot, aka Gravenhurst, is not a guy for parties. Buzzkill subjects abound on his fourth record: the emptiness of the past; photos of murdered girls; the catastrophically high price of Big Macs. OK, perhaps not the last one, but Talbot could ruminate on that and still make it sound like. a bittersweet trip to your ruined hometown with his signature spook. Much of this record plays like a tribute to ’90s miserabilists Red House Painters, all phantom-like reverb over misleadingly comforting folk tropes.
