if, like us, you've been spending these stormy nights curled up gazing lovingly at the guitars in mr marr's book, you'll find this a perfect sonic accompaniment for your instrument fawning! personally curated and compiled by johnny marr, spirit power: the best of johnny marr encompasses music from across his four widely acclaimed solo albums released over the last decade (2013’s the messenger, 2014’s playland, 2018’s call the comet, 2022 double album fever dreams pts 1-4), non-album single releases ‘armatopia’ and ‘the priest’ (w/ maxine peake).
the collection also includes 2 brand new studio recordings somewhere and the answer. since establishing the current chapter of his solo work a decade ago, johnny has remained a restless creative. working and recording out of his own purpose-built manchester studio, the crazy face factory, his songwriting has embraced an instinctive sonic evolution across four full length albums.
