“Johnny Marr’s first solo album is set to unleash the cerebral side of the still restless former Smith.” – Mojo
Winner of Q Hero at the 2012 Q Awards
The mesmerising return of Johnny Marr - one of the most celebrated and influential guitarists in the history of contemporary music – gathers pace with the news that he will follow the February 25th release of his debut solo album, ‘The Messenger,’ with his first ever solo tour.
Already winning critical acclaim, ‘The Messenger’ has been previewed by the title track which is currently accumulating radio play. Marr’s current resurgence has also been supported by his recent Q Hero Award
In addition to a London date at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, the tour will conclude with what will surely be a triumphant homecoming show at Manchester’s HMV Ritz.
Recorded in Manchester and Berlin, ‘The Messenger’ sees Marr contributing vocals, guitar and production. It was mastered at Abbey Road by Frank Arkwright who recently collaborated with Marr on the remastering work for The Smiths’ box set ‘Complete’.
It finds Marr’s vocals leading a sound which mixes elements of angular art-rock, indie and rock ‘n’ roll. Song titles which appear on the album include ‘The Right Thing Right’, ‘I Want The Heartbeat’, ‘European Me’, ‘Word Starts Attack’ and ‘Upstarts’.
Based in Portland, Oregon since 2005, Marr returned to the UK to commence work on ‘The Messenger’. “The underlying idea of the record is my experience of growing up in Europe,” he explains.

Growing up in the city influences you, and I’ve continued to see, stories and energy in it.” “When you’re away from your home city you’re more compelled to write about it, whether that’s because you’re homesick or you’ve got more objectivity, I don’t know.
