John Grant - The Art Of The Lie

 


I listened to John Grant's latest album The Art Of The Lie three times yesterday. I'm listening to it again now. I'll listen to it later again today. Its great. I do like John Grant.

He's an honest man. A very Gay Man, And one that doesn't care about laying his emotions right on the line at all points. Perhaps the rest of us could learn something from him. Become a little bit more emotionlly honest about what's going on inside us.

The Art Of The Lie is his sixth straight studio record since 2010's Queen Of Denmark made such a splash back in 2010. They've all been on Bella Union records,

In some ways Grant is quite consistent. He's consistently passionate and emotional. Overwrought. Melodic. Melodramatic. He is what he is. We should be grateful really. 

This one does what we've come to expect John Grant records to do. Vascillitae between The Carpenters, ABBA, Early 80s Synth Chart action. Hi Energy Disco. Wagner's Ring Cycle. Bless him
