Michigan‘s songsmith JOHN GRANT was quite active after the release of his 2021
solo LP Boy From Michigan. Last year he recorded an album with his band Creep
Show, an EP with Midlake, and did a Nick Drake cover for a tribute album.

Now he returns on his own, again. His 7th album,
titled THE ART OF THE LIE, will show up on June 14.

Album trailer

Press-info: “The Art Of The Lie is Grant’s most opulent, cinematic, luxurious album
yet and confirms Grant’s status as a modern electronic auteur. Grant likens the musical flavours of The Art of the Lie to the sumptuous Vangelis soundtrack for Bladerunner or
the Carpenters if John Carpenter were also a member.

While undeniably a John Grant record, nestling humour into tragedy, bleeding anger into compassion, there is a musical ambition and nerve to ‘The Art of the Lie’ which offsets its most political and personal moments.”

Grant already gave us ears sonic pleasure with these three tracks.
One mind-fucker (The Child Catcher) and two funky master blasters.

– ALL THAT SCHOOL FOR NOTHING –

– IT’S A BITCH –

– THE CHILD CATCHER –

All 3 together
