Fires in Distant Buildings is an album by the British singer-songwriter Gravenhurst, released in 2005.[4][5]
Critical reception
[edit]Spin thought that "all too often ... the album fades into the background for long, dull stretches."[1] The Times wrote that "sprawling structures and Low/Nick Drake/Velvets template are stretched to the point where songs—as opposed to what have, in the past, seemed like extemporisations—begin to reveal their compact shapes."[6]
AllMusic wrote that "Gravenhurst flesh out their starkly lovely fusion of British folk, dream pop, and electronica with full-fledged drums, electric guitars, and even denser electronic atmospheres."[2]
