Records of 2010 - 43. John Grant - Queen of Denmark
This album is a shoot-back to the 70's. This struggled singer-songwriter has got Midlake on backing for an absolute corker that's full of suicidal thoughts, lovelorn struggles and brutal honesty. Grant thankfully tells us that his shit's not over yet, he's gonna give life another chance. These are some of the best lyrics ever:
"And I feel like I'm on Jupiter / The one that looks like rainbow sherbert"
"Someday's just chicken bones / you'd better fuck off now / you'd better leave me alone"
"I wish that I had the brain of a Tyrannosaurus Rex / so I didn't have to deal with all this crap"
"I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me on a silver platter like they did to you..."
...And so it goes. Check it out. Highly recommended.
