About
John Grant is an American singer-songwriter. Formerly associated with the Denver-based alternative rock band The Czars, he launched a career as a solo artist in 2010 with the release of the Midlake produced album 'Queen of Denmark'.
In his debut solo album, Grant laced sumptuous soft-rock ballads with an array of spacey, wistful synthesizer sounds, increasingly adding taut, fizzing sequencers, nu-synth-disco settings and icy soundscapes to the mix on 2013’s Pale Green Ghosts and 2015’s Grey Tickles, Black Pressure. Now, with his sixth solo album The Art of the Lie, Grant's now-trademark marriage of Eighties-influenced electronica and swoon-some balladry is given its most lush framing so far.
