Bleep

The second album from Bristolian singer songwriter Nick Talbot was further evidence of Warp branching out and diversifying its catalogue with this collection of bedroom-recorded acoustic folk songs. Flashlight Seasons is saturated with melancholia and darkness – foremost on the chilling chorus of ‘I Turn My Face to the Forest Floor’ – but it remains, nevertheless, a pop album that also invites comparisons to shoegaze and post-rock with Talbot’s inventive use of reverb and atmospheric instrumentation.
