Returning the favour after Hercules and Love Affair remixed 'Black Belt' from his last album, John Grant guests on this cracking tune.
The subject matter deals with becoming HIV positive and I do wonder if John Grant is painting himself into a corner with his choice of subject matter. Fair play to the chap for coming out and being so honest about his sexuality and the struggles that he and others have faced but if I can draw parallels with Antony and the Johnsons it has started to define who he is as a singer/songwriter and he is so much more than that. I'd really like to see him lighten up a bit more with a few disco tracks where he's taking the pee and smiling.
Taking all that into account, this is still a cracking tune and Grant once again delivers a monumentally good performance.
