In the wake of his time leading The Healers, Marr’s solo career has given rise to three UK Top Ten albums - The Messenger (2013), Playland (2014) and 2018’s Call The Comet. He now returns with his most expansive work to date, Fever Dreams Pts 1-4. It was created during the long, uncertain period that followed the arrival of the UK’s first lockdown, when his focus was pushed into both his interior life, and evoking the emotional states of others. “It’s an inspired record, and I couldn’t wait to get in and record every day,” he says. “But I had to go inwards.”
The new album reflects his multi-faceted past, but takes his music somewhere startlingly new. “There’s a set of influences and a very broad sound that I’ve been developing - really since getting out of The Smiths,” he says. “And I hear it in this record. There are so many strands of music in it. I think it’s the most ambitious solo record I’ve done.”

I ordered the Johnny Marr Fever Dreams Cassette. It sounds great and the cassette cover is slim and cardboard. I was disappointed though that my cassette tape had no labeling on it. It was just a blank white tape cassette.

I love all the songs on this cassette! How fun to be able to get a cassette as that is the way I used to listen to my music. I would’ve given 5 stars but was a little disappointed the cassette was blank. It didn’t have Johnny’s name or title of the album, it’s just a white blank cassette. I used my label maker to label it. The picture shows the cassette is labeled and like a purple color. Maybe the one I received wasn’t finished being made? Anyway, I am loving all the songs, especially Ariel.
