JOHN GRANT SHARES "VOODOO DOLL" VIDEO VIA OUT
ON TOUR WITH ANDREW BIRD
GREY TICKLES, BLACK PRESSURE OUT NOW
PARTISAN RECORDS (US) | BELLA UNION {EU)
John Grant has unveiled a freaky, funky video for "Voodoo Doll" off his latest solo album, Grey Tickles, Black Pressure. Directed by The Diamond Brothers, an identical twin directing team known for the Danko Jones Trilogy & Melt Yourself Down, the video sees John tending to a woolen doll in the hope of revitalizing his depressed friend before transforming into a Voodoo doctor and indulging his latent love of make-up.
Of the video the Diamond Brothers say: "We've been long time fans of John Grant since Queen of Denmark and leapt at the chance to collaborate on a music video for him. The rich visual imagery in his lyrics gave us so much to work with to create a lush world for his music to inhabit."
"Voodoo Doll" will also soon be released with a quintet of brilliant remixes putting their own distinctive slant on the track. Moshi Moshi recording artist Anna Meredith delivers the most idiosyncratic and individual take while Black Devil Disco ramp up the funk and keep the track firmly on the dance floor. Wrangler bring a more techy, "Voodoo Ray"-style element while Satellites groove things up with rhythmic guitars, and slap bass. Lastly, Welsh electro-pop Goddess Gwenno delivers a brilliantly spacey, synth-heavy remix alongside partner-in-crime Peski Kid.
John is currently touring the West Coast with Andrew Bird, find all dates below and here.
