"GMF" sits on Pale Green Ghosts, the second solo album from former Czars frontman John Grant, released on Bella Union in March 2013. Grant wrote it alone and sings it, and he has serious company on the backing vocals: the Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor.
The album was cut in Reykjavík with a cast of local musicians, a long way from the Colorado of its title, which points to the Russian olive trees lining the I-25 near Grant's childhood home in Parker. Rough Trade named the record its album of 2013.
