Nick Talbot, meglio conosciuto come Gravenhurst, è morto nella giornata di oggi a 37 anni; la notizia ci arriva direttamente dalla sua etichetta, la Warp, e poi confermata dal suo manager Michelle Hilborne. Nessuno si aspettava una segnalazione del genere e siamo consci che ci ha lasciato un ottimo multistrumentista e songwriter.
