Our Take

Get ready to dance, indie kids, because Johnny Marr's debut solo album "The Messenger" is here to rock your socks off. The legendary guitarist from The Smiths proves he's still got it with this eclectic mix of catchy tunes and killer riffs.

From the opening track "The Right Thing Right," Marr sets the tone for the album with his signature jangly guitar sound and infectious energy. Tracks like "Upstarts" and "New Town Velocity" showcase Marr's knack for writing hook-laden melodies that will have you humming along in no time.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "The Messenger." Marr delves into darker territory with songs like "Lockdown" and "Say Demesne," addressing themes of isolation and disillusionment. It's a refreshing change of pace that adds depth to an already impressive album.

Overall, "The Messenger" is a must-listen for any fan of indie rock. Marr's expert musicianship and timeless songwriting shine through on every track, making this album a standout in his already illustrious career. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to groove – Johnny Marr is back with a vengeance.
