Marr's knack for creating progressive hooks and cinematic soundscapes can be heard on tracks such as
The Tracers, one of his personal favourites from the album. Constantly pushing sonic ground,
Hi, Hello, takes a more delicate, warmer approach that oozes textbook Marr melancholy.
The release has already received critical acclaim:
"Marr's best solo album is humane, melodic and authoritative...surely his time is now?" -
The Guardian.
"Johnny Marr dreams of a better tomorrow on his bold and inspiring third solo album" - (
NME).
Mastered at Abbey Road by the award-winning
Frank Arkwright, Johnny Marr explained to us how Frank plays a fundamental part in any release.
"I always work with Frank on my records. Mastering the entire Smiths catalogue was a huge undertaking, but we have a way of working together and it turned out perfectly. Frank Arkwright is one of the elite top mastering guys in the world". -
