MARK
LANEGAN
BAND
Singing with a deep, nicotine-ravaged growl that's rich, strong, and
sensuously forbidding, Mark Lanegan first rose to fame when his
band the Screaming Trees won a taste of mainstream recognition
in the '90s. But like other noted artists, Lanegan has carved out
a strong identity of his own as a vocalist and songwriter informed
by the blues but willing to take his darkly poetic sensibility wherever
his muse was pointing him, from hard rock to electronica.
Always keen on collaborations - Mark Lanegan has previously worked
with Soulsavers, Queens Of The Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Moby and
Isobel Campbell, among others - much of Mark Lanegan's 10th
solo album was composed with British musician Rob Marshall,
the rest with longtime foil Alain Johannes.
