John Grant announces third solo album

The full-length will be released in October

Grey Tickles, Black Pressure will be the third solo album from John Grant. The album will feature spoken word, ‘the realities of love on Planet Earth’, and collaborations with Tracey Thorn, Amanda Palmer and former Banshees drummer Budgie. It will also feature an ode to late actress Geraldine Paige.

“I do think the album’s great, and I’m really proud of it,” Grant said of the album in a press release. “I wanted to get moodier and angrier on this record, but I probably had a lot more fun making it.”

The album will be released 2 October on Bella Union. Watch the NSFW (and very bloody) album trailer above, and see the full track listing and UK tour dates below.
