.Johnny_Marr tells us all that went into the making of his latest album, 'Fever Dreams Pts 1 – 4,' and a whole lot more
during our virtual visit, me from the U.S., him on the outskirts of his hometown of Manchester, UK. He sits—smiling, warmly—in front of an enviable display of recording equipment, a far cry from the curious kid hanging around future Cult guitarist Billy Duffy’s teenage garage band, the youngster of the group.
We went on the record with Johnny about the new album, what inspires him these days, and why “nothing worthwhile is really that easy.”SPIN: What was it about that neighborhood in Manchester that produced two incredible musicians like you and Billy Duffy?We lived on the projects, but it was the biggest housing project in Europe, Wythenshawe, where we’re from. It was considered quite an edgy place. There was quite a lot of violent crime. The place that I moved there from was so much more edgy.
I hit there just learning to play guitars, which is why I gravitated to Billy. I would go where I heard there was someone with a drum kit or older guys usually with guitars. I was really little. Even at 12, 13, I was little. Mostly, the older guys just didn’t even notice me, which was handy because I was watching everything all the time. I was pretty streetwise. I would hear about different bands.
“I’ve just woken up. I think I’ve got the chorus.” I have an amazing band. Everyone knows my band are great, but when I make my demos, they’re really pretty comprehensive. I play the bass and then I play all the keys and I program all the kit and all of that. It’s really like a big one-man-band thing before I even bring it to the guys. It just completely takes over my life. I never knew any other way of doing it and I’ve been doing that since 1983 I guess.
You have the voice in the back of your head. The same voice that says, “I really got to clean up my apartment.” With this album, when I started it, I started writing it before the pandemic, so I had no idea that the world was going to go into freefall. I just knew it was the time. I was excited about it. It’s always a mountain to climb and I go, “Okay when this is finished, I’ll be a little different.
