In 2000 he started another band, Johnny Marr + the Healers, which released only one album, "Boomslang" (2003), to moderate success, then split up shortly afterwards. He later worked as a guest musician on the Oasis album "Heathen Chemistry" (2002). In 2006 he began work with Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock on songs that eventually featured on the band's 2007 release, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank". Modest Mouse subsequently announced that Marr was a fully fledged member, and the reformed line-up toured extensively in 2006–07. In January 2008, it was reported that Marr had taken part in a week-long songwriting session at Moolah Rouge recording studio in Stockport with Wakefield indie group the Cribs. Marr's association with the band lasted three years and included an appearance on its fourth album, "Ignore the Ignorant" (2009). His departure from the group was announced in April 2011. He subsequently embarked on a solo career and recorded three solo albums, "The Messenger" (2013), "Playland" (2014) and "Call the Comet" (2018). In addition to his activities as a musician and songwriter, Marr produced Marion's second album, "The Program" (1998) and Haven's debut album, "Between the Senses" (2002).
