About Me



THE WESTERN LANDS
New album out 10 September 2007

We are very pleased to announce the release of the brand new Gravenhurst album 'The Western Lands' , which is out now on Warp Records and includes the singles 'Trust' and 'Hollow Men'. The album is available on CD, LP and download.

The Western Lands has been receiving rave reviews.
NME awards 8/10 and warns the listener to "...notice it now, or wait until people start hailing it as a lost classic in a decade's time." The Guardian award 4/5 , stating "...this is, simply, beautiful music."
