I love John Grant and this is probably my favourite album of 2013. It's, pretty much, perfect. Musically, there's icey 80s electronica combined with darkly humourous, self depreciating, almost self loathing, lyrics which give the album its heart. It's not as instant as his first, solo, album but in some ways, the fact that it takes a little more time and effort to get into, in comparison, makes it, ultimately more rewarding. And its got Sinead O'Connor doing backing vocals!
