“Each record I make is more of an amalgamation of who I truly am,” declaresJohn Grant. “The more I do this, the more I trust in myself, and the further along I go.” Even when the Michigan-born musician released his debut solo albumQueen Of Denmarkin 2010, Grant laced sumptuous soft-rock ballads with an array of spacey, wistful synthesizer sounds, increasingly adding taut, fizzing sequencers, nu-synth-disco settings and icy soundscapes to the mix on 2012’sPale Green Ghostsand 2015’sGrey Tickles, Black Pressure, the latterThe Guardiandescribed as, “variously agonising, hilarious, uplifting and moving: another bravura display from a unique songwriting talent.”

Now, with his fourth solo album,Love Is Magic, Grant has continued evolving, creating his most electronic record yet, in collaboration withBenge(Ben Edwards), solo artist, analogue synth expert/collector and a member of electronica trio Wrangler. Produced by Grant, and engineered byBengeat his Cornish studio, the diamond-hard, diamond-gleamingLove 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 onPaul Alexanderof Denton, Texas maestros Midlake, renewing a working relationship that began onQueen Of Denmark.
