DAVID GRAY ~ Nightjar



Totally missed this one, even after flagging it! Released on the 27th of March. Nightjar is touted as a companion album to 2005’s Life in Slow Motion. It’s one hour and seventeen minutes and 19 tracks long. A double album, in the language of the days of yore. And actually, it does seem to have been released on vinyl, firstly. Quite a challenging listen for someone with the attention span of a goldfish – as in yours truly, currently.

The first four tracks were my cup of tea, then came some forgettable techno type offerings and some non-techno forgettable offerings – a general lack of cohesion, I thought, which is to be expected considering it’s likely an album of tracks that didn’t make it to a release two decades back.  

However, it’s not all doom and gloom – there is certainly some – this is David Gray after all! But seriously – there are more than a few redeeming numbers once you get to grips with the thing. If I did acquire the album, I would quickly learn which tracks to skip over.

Ultimately, on balance, I’d say there’s more worthwhile hearing than misstep, so if you’re a fan, give it whirl – you’re likely to find something that is pleasing to the ear.
