Fever Dreams Pt 1
Informed by the kind of powerful, anthemic and direct approach to words instantly present in ‘Spirit, Power & Soul’, the songs on the ‘Fever Dreams Pt 1’ EP arrive with an emotional potency. Fusing the language of soul music with his roots as a “Mancunian glam rocker”, lyrics that could be simultaneously personal, universal, and subtly political, with a fantastically expansive sound. The new EP reflects Johnny’s multifaceted past, but takes his music somewhere startlingly new.

Fever Dreams Pt 2
Due for release on December 17th on very limited transparent violet vinyl, ‘Fever Dreams Pt 2’ will preview four brand new tracks titled ‘Sensory Street’, ‘Tenement Time’, ‘Lightning People’ and ‘Hideaway Girl’, which make up the second quarter of Johnny Marr’s forthcoming double album, ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’.
‘Sensory Street’ follows on electro-soul album opener ‘Spirit, Power and Soul’s anthemic strand - a startling track with strident electronics that Marr describes as, “the story of a surreal 48 hours in subterranean England”. ‘Tenement Time’ marks the end of the double album’s first half. Speaking about ‘Tenement Time’, Johnny Marr said: “That’s the experience of growing up in the inner city as a little kid, running around being quite wild. This idea of “Forever, forever is mine” - it’s about running around Ardwick, bunking into warehouses and getting chased. That was the first time I was self-consciously into culture: around people who wore certain clothes, and it was part of being a little Manchester boy, really. I have a real romanticism about that period of my life.”
Early previews of ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’ (due February 25th 2022) have been met with widespread acclaim, with the single ‘Spirit, Power and Soul’ being playlisted by BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio 2, described as “his strongest solo composition yet” by the Evening Standard, “an exercise in progressive creative ambition” by DIY, “invigorating” by Uncut, with “defiance in its DNA” by CLASH and simply “banging” by The Telegraph.
