Johnny Marr has spoken out about his old band The Smiths ahead of the release of his solo debut album, ‘The Messenger’.
Speaking to The Guardian, Marr said: “We invented indie as we still know it.”
He added that parts of ‘The Messenger’ could be compared to his guitar work in the seminal Manchester band. “If people say parts of the record sound like The Smiths, I’m OK with that because hopefully it’s got the same exuberance,” he said.
Marr then said that he and his former band’s frontman Morrissey no longer speak. “We don’t have any reason to, to be honest,” he revealed.
Of his new album, which is set for release on February 25, Marr explained: “I felt something was missing from pop. When you hit it right on guitars in pop, it can be vivacious and exuberant and shiny.”
