In “GMF” (“greatest motherfucker”) John Grant sings, “Half the time I think I’m in some movie/ I play the underdog, of course.” It’s a fitting description of the Reykjavik-based (by way of Denver) singer/songwriter: He’s a gay man who’s had his heart shattered, fought cocaine and alcohol addiction, and a couple years ago learned he was HIV positive. Needless to say, there are dark clouds looming over Pale Green Ghosts, his second solo record. But in case you haven’t figured it out by the name of the aforementioned song: Grant refuses to dwell on what’s gone wrong.
