Jude Rogers: John Grant changed his sound for his second album, but his soulful introspection remained. Pale Green Ghosts sticks out like a strange sore thumb. For starters, there's the bearded, middle-aged man staring from its cover, the grained wood of a cafe encasing him like a coffin. Then there's the record's mishmash of sounds.

The title refers to the Russian olive trees that stand along the I-25 highway near Grant's family home in the small town of Parker, Colorado. They have these pale green leaves with a silvery back, so they're sort of luminescent in the moonlight," the enraptured singer told UK newspaper The Observer.

John Grant is not a man of mystery. In the interviews around the release of his startling 2010 debut album Queen Of Denmark, the former leader of The Czars talked with bracing honesty about his homosexuality, his battle to overcome addictions to booze and drugs, his flirtations with suicide. He told us his mordant love songs were about a guy named Charlie. And then Grant topped all that by using an appearance at last Summer’s Meltdown festival in London with friends Hercules And Love Affair to announce to a shocked audience that he is HIV-positive
