Johnny Marr's acclaimed 2013 solo debut The Messenger marked a defining moment in his evolution from legendary guitarist to fully fledged frontman. Blending sharp, melodic guitar lines with driving indie-rock energy and moments of reflective clarity, the album ranges from the punch of "Upstarts" to the shimmering introspection of "New Town Velocity." Recorded between the UK and Berlin and mastered at Abbey Road.
