While surfing Facebook yesterday, my cousin posted a status update stating (very tongue in cheek) that when she grows up she wants to be The Smiths. Her identity crisis aside, that got me thinking about my favourite Smiths songs, which in turn, peaked my excitement for the forthcoming solo release by former Smith/Modest Mouse/The Cribs guitar hero, Johnny Marr.
Set for release on North American shores on February 26th, The Messenger is Marr's first proper solo album (2003's Boomslang was released under the Johnny Marr + The Healers moniker and was more of a collaborative band effort). The first single (and title track) was released back in late November. In early December, another track from the album was leaked released, titled 'The Right Thing Right'. Yes, I'm a little behind on this, but the Christmas season was a killer. In any event, check them out below. Thanks for reading.
