JOHN GRANT
"PALE GREEN GHOST"
Bella Union
2013
Segundo trabajo en solitario del que fuera lider de la desaparecida
banda americana de rock alternativo the czars, en este su segundo album
da un paso hacia adelante tras el espectacular "Queen Of Denmark" que
fué grabado con los componentes de Midlake y en el cual daba un buen
repaso de soft rock o folk pop, nada que ver con este "Pale green Ghost"
que esta grabado en Islandia junto la colaboración de Biggi veira de
Gus Gus. ya con su colaboración espectacular con Hercules & Love
Affair nos hacia pensar en otro camino y cambio de rumbo por
experimentar más y dejarse llevar hacia su siguiente disco, y en efecto
asi ha sido, dejando del viejo Grant que conocimos de su primer larga
duración una pieza magistral como es "Gmf" o la maravillosa "I hate This
Town" casi todo el resto del álbum se trata de un synth-pop de fisura
trascendental y melancólica como es en el caso de las canciones "
Vietnam" o "You don't have to" donde Grant se muestra a gusto con el
Synth-pop, como punto de maximo esplendor tenemos la canción It
Doesn't Matter To Him" con la colaboración de la carismatica Sinead
O'connor.
Es bueno que Grant este de vuelta. bien por él y su experimentación hacia otros caminos y sonidos. Aunque personalmente prefiero al Grant mas Folki y alternativo de antaño.

Second solo of the former leader of the defunct American alternative rock band The Czars, in this his second album takes a step forward after the spectacular "Queen Of Denmark" which was recorded with Midlake components and which gave a good look at soft rock or folk pop, nothing to do with this "Pale Green Ghost" as recorded in Iceland together Biggi Veira collaboration of Gus Gus. and with its spectacular collaboration with Hercules & Love Affair us think in another way and change of course to experience more and let go to his next album, and indeed it has, leaving the old Grant met his first long one masterpiece as "Gmf" or the wonderful "I Hate This Town" almost all the rest of the album is a synth-pop and melancholy crack momentous as in the case of songs "Vietnam" or "you don 't have to "where Grant is as comfortable with the Synth-pop, as the point of maximum splendor have the song it Does not Matter To Him" with the help of the charismatic Sinead O'connor.
It's good that Grant is back. good for him and his experimentation into other roads and sounds. Although I personally prefer the more Folki Grant and alternative yesteryear.
