John Grant’s sixth album is his most opulent, cinematic, luxurious record yet and confirms his 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 to 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.
Note: The LP is initially available on limited-edition pink vinyl.
