John Grant - WOMADelaide

Singer-songwriter John Grant masterfully blends sumptuous ballads with taut, electrifying pop, effortlessly traversing the realms of symphony orchestras and synthesisers. Now based in Iceland, his self-effacing lyrics delve into dark, introspective spaces, revealing profound humanity. In autumn 2022, inspired by his collaboration with producer Ivor Guest, Grant began crafting his most opulent album yet, The Art of The Lie. This cinematic work features a cast of storied musicians, weaving together dramatic soundscapes reminiscent of Laurie Anderson and The Art of Noise. With a keen eye for lyrical ingenuity, Grant artfully navigates the complexities of life, blending humour and depth to illuminate both its dark and light sides. Tickets on sale now.
