R.I.P. Nick 'Gravenhurst' Talbot

Nick Talbot, a.k.a. Warp Records artist Gravenhurst, has passed away.

A statement from Warp reads: “We are shocked and saddened to share the news that Nick Talbot has passed away aged 37. An immensely talented singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer and journalist, he will be hugely missed. Nick’s family and friends request privacy at this difficult time”.

Gravenhurst formed as a solo project, but the late ’90s saw him expand to a live band. He released his debut album, Internal Travels, in 2002 before signing to Warp where he released four albums, most recently 2012’s The Ghost in Daylight. 

As well as recording as Gravenhurst, he contributed to Mike Paradinas and Lara-Rix Martin’s Heterotic project, and was a freelance journalist.

A statement by Michelle Hilborne, Talbot’s manager, reads “I am utterly devastated to confirm that Nick Talbot, also known under the performing name Gravenhurst, has passed away aged 37. The finest, most extraordinary and inspirational songwriter, singer and performer, and a remarkable producer and journalist, Nick’s work has deeply affected so many people all over the world. Outstandingly intelligent, compassionate, fascinating and witty, Nick was the dearest friend and his absence brings indescribable sorrow”.
