Johnny Marr Announces New Album 'Fever Dreams Pts 1-4'

Johnny Marr, former guitarist of The Smiths and top indie legend, has announced the release of his new album 'Fever Dreams Pts 1-4'.

Set to arrive on February 25, 2022 via BMG, the album reflects Johnny’s multifaceted past, but takes his music somewhere startlingly new. Pre-order your copy here.

Fever Dreams Pts 1-4; explores a multitude of concepts and themes. Because the wider world effectively shut down during its creation, Marr’s focus was pushed into both his interior life, and evoking the emotional and psychological 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.” As well as evoking the past and present, the album looks to the future, the idea that even in the most trying times, hope endures.

Written and recorded at the Crazy Face Factory over the last year, ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’ was created with Marr’s long-standing band: co-producer Doviak, bassist Iwan Gronow, drummer Jack Mitchell, and features backing vocals throughout the album from the Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter Meredith Sheldon, with three songs featuring bass from Primal Scream’s Simone Marie.
