About

A Top 10 UK chart entry for his 2021 album Boy From Michigan followed by some of the very best reviews of his career for 2024's The Art Of The Lie confirm that John Grant continues to go from strength to strength.

Over six Czars albums, Grant had mastered the art of gorgeous, country-flecked melody and gripping narratives, and once he'd embraced sobriety, the exquisitely brooding and rousing soft-rock contours of Queen Of Denmark changed his life. Between that debut and The Art Of The Lie are four albums. 2013's Pale Green Ghosts (recorded in Reykjavik, after which he decided to stay) helped earn him Attitude Magazine's Man of the Year award, and then perhaps the greatest accolade so far, a Best International Male Solo Artist nomination at the 2014 BRITS, alongside Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Drake. After recording tracks accompanied by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for BBC Radio 6 Music (later released as John Grant And The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra: Live In Concert), Grant released Grey Tickles, Black Pressure in 2015, his first Top Five UK album. 2017's Top 20 album Love Is Magic was his most electronic to date, co-produced by synthesiser savant Benge, a member of the electronic trio Wrangler, Grant's collaborators under the collective name of Creep Show for 2018's dynamic album Mr Dynamite and 2023's Yawning Abyss.

If Grant's records are beautiful cut jewels, perhaps his star shines even brighter on stage, typically backed by an empathic band drawn from Icelandic, American and British musicians, where this endearing character's deeply personal sagas trigger an immediate response from his fanatical following.
