GRANT, JOHN - THE ART OF THE LIE
- NEW RELEASEARTIST:
TITLE:
The Art Of The Lie
LABEL:
CATNO:
BELLA159VX
FORMAT:
Vinyl record
DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Synth, Disco, Art Rock Leftfield & Rock Flava's ON New LP Pressed on Ltd Edition Pink Vinyl
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.
The Art of The Lie was produced by Grant and Grammy-nominated producer Ivor Guest who is perhaps best known for his work with Grace Jones & Brigitte Fontaine. The album features an array of celebrated musicians including Dave Okumu, Seb Rochford and Robin Mullarkey.
