John Grant – Boy From Michigan CD

 On this new album John Grant has pared back and stripped away the noise, maximising the emotional impact of his incredibly beautiful melodies, and mood-enhancing a fruitful, spare, strangely orchestrated new world for him to live in. Produced by long-time friend Cate Le Bon, ‘Boy from Michigan’ is Grant’s most autobiographical and melodic work to date. Grant stopped being a boy in Michigan aged twelve, when his family moved to Denver, Colorado, shifting rust to bible belt, a further vantage point to watch collective dreams unravel. At one end of his musical rainbow he is the battle-scarred piano-man, at the other a robust electronic auteur. ‘Boy from Michigan’ seamlessly marries both.
