Flashlight Seasons
(Warp, 2004)
Bristolian Nick Talbot’s little known second album of ghostly modern folk beauty gets ‘legit’ release.
Listen to the eerie empty dancehall atmospherics that underscore Flashlight Seasons’ uncannily beguiling opening track, Tunnels, and you’ll understand why Warp Records have been so keen to reissue this, the second album of Nick Talbot’s haunted, fog-gripped ballads. Wrapped in the moss and cobwebs of early Aphex reverb and MBV amp decay, these are finger-picked folk call-outs that weave that uncanny Warp sound ethos into the ominous patterns of 21st century folk. Drawing on such various reference points as Low, Bert Jansch, Trembling Blue Stars and those early ‘90s drone-folk pioneers (and fellow Bristolians), Flying Saucer Attack, Talbot sings like some spectre-possessed Paul Simon. And while Talbot’s youth occasionally results in government-issue indie melancholy, at their best, his songs have the feel of a modern-day MR James penning existential distress calls for dispossessed post-club ghouls, lone walkers and urban romantics. A warning to the curious.
