A Journey Through Music
Grant’s career began in the alternative rock scene with The Czars, a Denver-based band. Despite receiving critical acclaim, the group disbanded in 2006, forcing Grant to step away from music. However, with encouragement from the band Midlake, he made a strong return and released his debut solo album, Queen of Denmark (2010). Grant recorded the album with Midlake’s collaboration, and its deeply personal lyrics struck a chord with listeners. Notably, Mojo magazine named it Album of the Year, marking a major breakthrough in his solo career.
As his sound evolved, Grant continued pushing musical boundaries. His later albums showcase his versatility:
Pale Green Ghosts (2013) embraced electronic influences and earned Album of the Year from Rough Trade.
Grey Tickles, Black Pressure (2015) blended electronic and acoustic sounds, reaching No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart.
Love Is Magic (2018) leaned heavily into synth-pop and broke into the UK top 20.
Boy from Michigan (2021) reflected his personal journey, gaining widespread critical acclaim.
With each new project, Grant reinvented himself, refusing to be confined by genre.
