WTF!?! in a good way

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

Having enjoyed "Queen of Denmark", footage of some concerts (thanks, YouTube!), I had fallen into an impression of John Grant's music as a gentle, if bittersweet, tunes, with their ironic simplicity.

Not sure what took me so long to buy "Pale Green Ghosts", but by the third bar on the first track I was already cursing profoundly in a good way.

Because WTF?!?! with all these wild compositions carrying the brutally human lyrics. This album is like a musical Picasso underlying a Chagal Each track stuffed with raw emotions held up in sharp angles framed in throbbing ironies. Hearing just one of the tracks (take your pick) would make me feel like "wow, what a musician", and we're regaled with 11 of them. This may not be the most cheerful collection of songs, but the lush, hypnotic musicality of the thing keeps me playing it over and again. The guy's a mad genious.

So if the preceding babble makes any sense - or not - check. out. this. album. and then get back at us.

I've not ever heard music which remotely resembles His. Move over Bowie, the guy is a creative genius. Plus, he doesn't piss his life/voice away smoking as so many blessed vocalists do. He's also a tremendous inspiration off the stage. I'm a straight female, yet his lyrics resonate. Where's the merchandise? I want a JG bumper sticker, tee and hat. Get your act together, Amazon!

While this is a progression from his first CD, it isn't an improvement. I still really enjoyed this cd because it still has elements of his first cd. Some great lyrics and nice melodies but a little too much odd instrumentation going on here for 5 stars.

If you like Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence You will LOVE Pale Green Ghosts by John Grant

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

PALE GREEN GHOSTS is the perfect bookend to Lana Del Rey's ULTRAVIOLENCE. Both artists deliver narco-swing
that is brutally honest, haunting and breathtaking in its scope. Pale Green Ghosts also has the vintage feel of Del Rey 's
music with an added 1980's heavily synthesized influence. John Grant's voice, like Lana's is absolutely gorgeous and full of
primal emotion. Every song is a winner, just like Del Rey's Ultraviolence. A special thank you to Sinead O'Conner for turning
me on to John Grant. Her cover of his song ( which she TOTALLY owns!) "Queen of Denmark" lead me to further investigate
and discover this very talented man, John Grant. A special bonus on Pale Green Ghosts is having Sinead O'Conner singing back up on many of the tracts adding an even more haunting and beautiful feel to this body of work. Like Ultraviolence, Pale Green Ghosts is a rock opera and cinematic in feel. Prepare to sit back and listen to Pale Green Ghosts in its entirety. The gorgeous and lush last tract is totally worth the price of the album. I cant remember when I have been so excited about a new musical discovery!

I can't get into this album. It is really unbelievable to me, because I had always loved everything by John Grant. But this album is just not interesting or appealing to me.

Wow - Different!

What do I say about this John Grant album? The 1st time I listened to it, the only word I could come up with was droll. The 2nd time I listened to it, I noticed the beautiful baritone voice and the beautiful music interspersed in the droll songs. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. It may take some getting used to, especially considering some of the words or if you are shocked at other types of sexuality, but I must say this is very intriguing to me, someone who likes to find different kinds of music out of the mainstream stuff they play on the radio. And these songs will probably never be played on any mainstream radio!

More Expermental but still a cut above the average ursine Us ex-pat solo performer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

After the excellent Queen of Denmark expectations were high for the follow-up, but this initially disappointed. Whereas Queen of Denmark consisted of a unified set of well produced, lyrically appealing tracks culminating in the brutal title track, this set is bleaker with sparse instrumentation and less QoD/Czars melodies which made those sometimes bitter lyrics more appealing. The reliance on often intrusive keyboards is less effective than the lush Midlake/orchestral backing of QoD, but works on tracks like Pale Green Ghosts quite well. As befitting an Iceland-based set the themes are also bleaker, again JG's coming to terms with sexuallity/relationship angst and his declared misanthropy in tracks like I Hate this F- Town and It Don't Matter to Him. The frequent expletives aren't really a problem, though an artist of JG's stature proved he could convey his anger or sour perspectives on life without them on QoD. There are a couple of tracks such as Glacier that do fit the QoD template quite well, with JG's mighty voice grabbling your attention-which is a plus. The cover is less eigmatic than QoD's bonkers one, though the imposing suited JG scowling menacingly n this cover is a little offbeat. An intriquing album and a decent album but less appealing to me than QoD. It'll be interesting to hear where JG goes on the next album.

A singer who bears all

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

A brilliant collection of self deprecating and darkly humorous tracks which expose the pain of depression, lost love, addiction and personal destruction. There is a strong element of loathing of some previous lover evident, but hope and uplifting moments are present also. I was prompted to go and see John Grant and his band in concert and I wasn't disappointed, a top class performer. Highlights are GMF, Glacier, Vietnam and Pale green ghosts

A wonderful album, sung with much tongue in cheek sarcasm and some real passion. John Grant has a gorgeously rich voice, which first attracted me to his music . My fav track of his is on this album (GMF).

Thoughtful electronic music making

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

I had no prior knowledge of John Grant's music but a chance listen on Deezer led me to buy this CD for the car. Pale Green Ghosts is electronic music for grown-ups. The lyrics tell of failed love affairs and stubborn independence while the tunes itself are memorable and haunting if not exactly dancefloor-ready. If you're in the mood for something unusual and thoughtful but don't want to venture as far as an acoustic album to get there, give this a go.
