May 2, 2012His best work since 'Black Holes In The Sand'.

May 7, 2012The Ghost in the Daylight (Warp) is a quieter, more overtly folky album than 2007's Western Lands. There is no obvious focal point - nothing like gorgeous, pick-clawed "Trust" from the previous album - only a series of acoustic songs that flare gently from rueful nostalgia to sudden melancholy.

May 17, 2012Talbot's a great craftsman--half a spin of Ghost proves that--but he's at his most compelling when he's sketching in the margins.

May 1, 2012As a once-in-a-half-decade demonstration of Talbot's vital signs, The Ghost isn't necessarily compelling enough to make you want to hang around for a follow-up, but the vitriol of a line like, "If you let them burn books, you'll let them burn bodies," is a strong sign of life at least.

May 2, 2012The Ghost in Daylight is ignorable background music and the lowest point of the Gravenhurst discography thus far.
