Performer Notes

Working once again with producer Doviak for 2018's Call the Comet, Johnny Marr adheres to the meticulously sculpted soundscapes he patented on his 2013 solo debut, The Messenger, but the guitarist's perspective has shifted. Faced with the political tumult of the late 2010s, Marr concentrates on essential humanist traits, crafting songs that aren't so much protests as wishes for a better, kinder world. Empathy is the engine of Call the Comet and the characteristic that separates the album from its two predecessors, The Messenger and Playland. Take away these open-hearted pleas and Call the Comet is virtually identical to its cousins, a gleaming collection of old-fashioned college rock that fuses the skyscraping six-string theatrics of the Smiths with the cool, stylish affectations of Electronic. Marr doesn't disguise the skill fueling his craft, so Call the Comet is more accomplished than compelling, but there is pleasure in hearing how all the parts fit together so tidily. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Professional Reviews

Uncut - "[H]ere he gives free rein to a more grandiose spirit, channelling some of the sublime scale of his soundtrack work with Hans Zimmer."

NME (Magazine) - "All in all, it's a joy to experience. The opulent, bright and breezy opener `Rise' hits you like sunstroke, as a sci-fi rock soundscape backs Marr calling upon the listener to 'hear the truth'..."

Clash (Magazine) - "CALL THE COMET is easily Johnny Marr's most confident solo album. Lead single `The Tracers' sets the tone, executing a perfect balance between Marr's iconic guitar style and more experimental production."
