Love Is Magic

October 12, 2018 10:22 PM

John Grant (whom you perhaps remember from an earlier FPP about his song Glacier) released a new album [discogs] today. Love Is Magic is the title track and was the advance-release single [lyric video].

The album, apparently continuing to combine his previous interest in electronica combined with standard instrumentation in new ways, as released thus far: Metaporphosis, Love Is Magic [see above the fold], Tempest, Preppy Boy, Smug Cunt, He's Got His Mother's Hips [A+ video, highly recommend!] (audio only), Diet Gum, Is He Strange, The Common Snipe, Touch And Go

I swear to got, the discovery of Glacier at age 45 changed my life. It helped give a context to things for me. It's hard to explain.

Here's a live performance with Conner O'Brien.

I've followed Grant for years, and I'm excited for this new album. Just bought the vinyl.

He's Got His Mother's Hips has indeed got an A+ video, thoroughly attention-maintaining. And I've been listening to the song all week - very catchy and enjoyable.
