John Grant

 

To look at John Grant, you may imagine some kind of rustic, folksy music.  Instead, he uses 70s era electronics, 80s new wave, and his malleable voice to create something entirely its own.  Sometimes experimental, almost avant garde, other times very danceable pop tunes.

In the same way that Interpol wore their Joy Division influence on their sleeves, so do White Lies clearly owe a huge debt to Tears For Fears... without really sounding LIKE them, outside of the vocal similarities or the occasional guitar lick.
