Partisan Records’ electronic star John Grant announces the title and release date for his fourth solo album, Love Is Magic. Although fans won’t be able to get their hands on the album until October 12, Grant has proven to consistently evolve from project project.
In a statement released by the label it was revealed, Love Is Magic will be recorded in collaboration with Benge (Ben Edwards), solo artist, analogue synth expert/collector and a member of electronica trio Wrangler, Grant’s collaborators earlier this year under the collective name of Creep Show (on the album Mr. Dynamite).
The full LP will be produced by Grant, and engineered by Benge at his Cornish studio, the diamond-hard, diamond-gleaming Love Is Magic, “is how I’ve always wanted my records to sound, but I didn’t know how until now,” Grant says. He also called on Paul Alexander of Denton, Texas maestros Midlake, renewing a working relationship that began on Queen Of Denmark.
When asked about the inspiration behind the album Grant replied, “Love’s a shitshow that requires work. 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.”
