STREAM: Pale Green Ghosts -
"funny, brutal, nuanced"
NPR
"a smart, thrillingly original album that expertly showcases his unique songwriting voice"
The Current
"It's hard to imagine a more enjoyable and rewarding hour of music being released this year than Pale Green Ghosts: self-obsessed but completely compelling, profoundly discomforting but beautiful, lost in its own fathomless personal misery, but warm, funny and wise."
The Guardian - 5 Stars (Album Of The Week)
"An album that, rather than juggling empty pop-song clichés, opts to expose the rawest emotional nerves: truth and beauty, rather than lies and blather."
The Independent - 4 Stars (Album Of The Week)
"A masterpiece"
UNCUT
"As piano and strings crescendo, concluding Pale Green Ghosts' uncommon vistas of seriousness, levity and disco dancing, you can imagine the singer departing in triumph"
Q - 4 Stars
"Several of the tracks here top the majesty of those on the debut... a bold, distinctive and genuinely excellent record"
Clash - 9/10
"Grant's rich voice dovetails beautifully with the silvery synths of 'GMF' and 'Vietnam'... This is audacious stuff from one talented motherfucker."
NME - 8/10
