John Grant

The Art of the Lie

£8.99

Released: 14th June 2024. Following the runaway success of his last LP, 'Boy from Michigan', which crashed the UK Top 10 back in July 2021, legendary singer-songwriter John Grant returns with his hugely-anticipated sixth album, 'The Art of the Lie'. The 2024 album 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.
