Grey Tickles, Black Pressure was released to raves last fall across the globe, entering UK album charts at #5 upon release and selling out London's Hammersmith Apollo, as well as high praise from NPR Music, Esquire, VICE and more.  

Elton John, a longtime fan and friend, gave John a special nod during his interview with BBC6's "First Time" series. Says Sir Elton:

"I love John Grant's work. I love him. I love his work. I think he's one of the most important artists of our time, without question. He's an artist that will be around forever and he will be always taken seriously because he has a lot to say and he says it brilliantly and with a lot of wit."
