John Grant - Queen of Denmark

EU only double vinyl LP pressing. 2010 debut solo album from the former vocalist and songwriter with the Czars. Queen of Denmark is a record of gravitas and grace, of FM melody magic laced with raw emotional bleeding. It asks why relationships are roulette and love is hell in a last-ditch attempt at self-improvement and atonement after a decade of alcohol and cocaine dependency. And yet there is redemption in it's exquisite grooves. And on top, to further the album's brilliance, Grant's backing band on the album are Denton, Texas' mightiest Midlake - contributing their most empathic '70s-style Soft-Rock know-how. Put simply, Queen of Denmark is the record Grant's been waiting his whole life to make.
