About

'Grey Tickles, Black Pressure' is the third solo album by former The Czars front-man John Grant. The album was released on the 8th October 2015 via Bella Union. The record's title comes from the raw translation of two phrases from the Icelandic and Turkish languages respectively: "grey tickles" refers to approaching middle age; "black pressure" comes from the Turkish word for nightmare.
