BELLACD377 Release Date: 11 March 2013 "The former Czars singer's second solo album sees him mapping exactly where he's at after the fiery dissolution of a relationship with a man who, a mere album ago, was the one. His hatred for his ex, and for himself, is crooned with authority over luscious post-comedown electro." - Pitchfork "In fact, he's inadvertently inspired a genuinely remarkable album: self-obsessed but completely compelling, profoundly discomforting but beautiful, lost in its own fathomless personal misery, but warm, funny and wise. It shouldn't work, but it does." - Guardian "John Grant's songs can be characterised by extreme restlessness and the state of suffering mental and physical discomfort within one's being. The irony and often confronting honesty he brings to these problems ensure Pale Green Ghosts is extremely engaging and often engrossing. But Queen of Denmark it is not, which will hopefully not put off the Fleet Foxes and Jeff Buckley fans who were so thrilled with that first collection. His second is branching out into the more experimental, atmospheric and even psychedelic – it's a more challenging task but one that perhaps ultimately yields richer rewards." - The Quietus
