Johnny Marr In “The Age Of Everything”
Johnny Marr, The Smiths guitarist will release his fifth solo album, The Age Of Everything,” in October.
“This is the record that’s been the most cathartic,” Marr shares. “The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea. It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It’s all encompassing, but it’s not necessarily a negative statement. There’s a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there could also be a sense of possibility.”
“It’s Time” is the albums lead single.
“’It’s Time’ is my way of singing about some worldly issues but finding defiance in idealism,” Marr states “I wanted a lyric that matched the exuberance of the music but is actually about resisting cynicism and corruption: ‘Everybody ain’t making it, change the weather and breaking it. Mobilize to know the truth. Open eyes to know the truth.”

The music video for “It’s Time” was filmed earlier this year during Marr’s headlining solo show at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl.
