MARK LANEGAN & DUKE GARWOOD - With Animals (Ltd. Ed.LP+MP3,180g) (Sealed) (LP)

Heavenly Recordings release With Animals, the second album by Mark Lanegan and Duke Garwood. The record’s 12 songs are spectral and sinewy, often defined by the spaces in between the sounds. A ghost’s whistle weaves itself around a pulsing single note on Lonesome Infidel; Feast to Famine’s hard luck story floats above a guitar part so strung out and washed with distortion it’s become barely recognisable. It’s soul music for anyone who’s long since left the crossroads.
