It’s back to one of the oddest corners of ‘Grey Tickles, Black Pressure‘ for John Grant on the Diamond Brothers-directed ‘Voodoo Doll‘ video.
Grant’s next UK dates start next month and will take in a sold-out date at London’s Royal Albert Hall as well as festival stops at Field Day, T In The Park and Latitude.
Live4ever took in the Leeds Town Hall gig during his winter tour – our review reads:
“Grant’s objective from playing more material appears not to be in rousing people or applying the euphoric jolt of familiarity to them after all, as such is the heavily biographical narrative of much of his work escapism is the last place its gallery can seek refuge.”
“The songs which are after when the band goes off and comes back on again have their apex in ‘Drug‘, a remnant from a past with The Czars on which he cautions the subject, “I will miss you when you’re gone, but I’m not equipped to be your mom”. The sentiment is one he has occasionally dealt with – looking after yourself first, then other people.”
