John Grant by Hörður Sveinsson
John Grant previews ‘The Art Of The Lie’.
John Grant has shared The Child Catcher from his upcoming new album which is due for release on June 14th.
I’m sure many of you remember the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Terrified me when I was a kid. Of course he’s a metaphor. Anyway, here’s The Child Catcher from my record The Art of The Lie, which is also a love letter to both Dead Can Dance and Vangelis, I suppose, two of my all-time favourites.
The early ideas for The Art Of The Lie go back to the autumn of 2022 when Grant had a chance meeting with Ivor Guest at Grace Jones’ Meltdown Festival show that year.
Meanwhile, a second night has been added to the sold-out gig at London’s Hackney Church and will take place on October 18th.
