After 2013’s ‘Pale Green Ghosts‘ marked the former Czars man out as one of the most considered, engaging songwriters currently in operation, John Grant will release his new studio album ‘Grey Tickles, Black Pressure‘ on October 2nd.
“I do think the album’s great, and I’m really proud of it. I wanted to get moodier and angrier on this record, but I probably had a lot more fun making it,” Grant says, while paying tribute to the impact of ‘amazing’ session keyboardist Bobby Sparks, who ‘really funked things up’.
A tour of Europe will support the album throughout November and December, bringing Grant to UK shores for gigs in London and Brighton.
“I want to continue to challenge myself,” Grant continues. “To keep collaborating, to get the sound or the direction that will take me where I need to go. To keep taking the bull by the horns.”
