Background notes
Archive material and source history
Reverend Hylton formed in the late 1980s when singer-songwriter Nick Hylton and multi-instrumentalist Will Gregory started working together. Their debut album 'The Remedy' came out in 1992, followed by 'The Calm' in 1995 and 'A Pocketful of Acorns' in 1998.
Their song 'Acorns' became their most recognized work. The band's sound incorporated folk and ambient textures, with a rotating lineup that sometimes included violinist Kate St. John, cellist Lucy Shaw, and pianist Chris Taylor.
They collaborated with artists like David Sylvian and John Cale. Reverend Hylton's music developed a following in British alternative circles, though their approach sometimes drew criticism from more traditional listeners.
