Singer-songwriter John Grant has announced that his upcoming album, Love Is Magic, will arrive Oct. 12. He also released the record’s synthesizer-heavy title track today (July 10).
With over ten tracks of almost entirely electronic music, Grant is making a massive genre shift from his last record, Grey Tickles Black Pressure, which debuted at No. 20 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.
“Love’s a shitshow that requires work,” Grant says about the new song. “It’s not all lollipops and rainbows and ‘67 Dodge Dart Hemis and STD’s and macaroni and cheese and John Carpenter. But nothing can distract from the fact that, in spite of it all, love is still magic.”
