NOS Alive has been added to Johnny Marr‘s list of 2019 festival appearances.

Marr is out on the road continuing to play his most recent studio LP Call The Comet – one of Live4ever’s albums of 2018 – and also has festival outings lined up at Truck and Tramlines among others.

“The whole album is peppered with effects and unearthly rhythms; Actor Attractor has synths that hark back toth Electronic days, and album centrepiece Walk Into The Sea offers ninety seconds of a variety of instruments all backed by a nagging pulse before it kicks into life with a sky-scraping, windswept, ear-consuming sound,” we said of Call The Comet.

“As a contrast, Marr talks rather than sings throughout the song in a defiant tone. As rightly heralded as he is, it always seems to go without comment how much funk Marr brings to the mix. Bug is a perfect case in point, strutting as it does but the guitars on both verse and chorus could easily sit anywhere in Chic’s catalogue.”
