Grant Hart – Hot Wax

Grant Hart’s first solo album of the 21st century is one of the best things he has ever done. The former Husker Du drummer and co-songwriter worked with the diverse cast of musicians from Godspeed You Black Emperor and Silver Mt. Zion on this new album, Hot Wax, recorded in Montreal and Minneapolis.

Grant on some of the songs:

“The song “Narcissus, Narcissus” is my first attempt at combining ancient Greek mythology and American rock-a-billy. By merging those influences with an ice cream truck atmosphere I think I have found a style that defines this period of my career.”

“You’re the Reflection of the Moon on the Water is one of the most organic rock and roll songs that I have ever written. Its style owes a lot to my devotion for Patti Smith”

Hart formed the alternative rock trio Nova Mob, where he moved to vocals and guitar after Husker Du’s breakup
