Mark Lanegan

written directly after digging up memories long buried for his new memoir 'sing backwards & weep', this record is raw & personal, written with the same breadth, intensity & unpredictability as life itself.

Here are 15 songs inspired by his life story; a brutal, nerve-shredding listen, thanks to Lanegan’s unsparing candour. There’s death & tragedy, yet also humour & hope, thanks to the tenacity which impels its host, even at his lowest moments. The album features the likes of Alain Johannes (qotsa, pj harvey), john paul jones, jack irons (of course, the founding drummer for rhcp), ed harcourt, dylan carlson (earth), mark morton (lamb of god), greg dulli, warren ellis, simon bonney, & more! “The raw & intense exploration of a tortured soul. This stuff is a few circles of hell deeper than anything leonard cohen ever did” 4/5 – the arts desk.

Kevin says: "Of course it's gloomy - it's Mark Lanegan! He is at his morose best on this collection of 15 songs recounting tales of his troubled life. Ace song writing, top guest musicians & all round a great album".
