Mark Lanegan announces new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 8 February 2017
Mark Lanegan has announced that he will release a new Mark Lanegan Band album, called ‘Gargoyle’, on 28 Apr. It will feature guest appearances from Josh Homme, Greg Dulli and Duke Garwood.
“I definitely feel like I’m a better songwriting than I was fifteen years ago”, says Lanegan. “I don’t know if I’m just kidding myself or what, but it’s definitely easier now to make something that is satisfying to me”.
“Maybe I’m just easier on myself these days”, he continues. “But it’s definitely not as painful a process, and therefore I feel I’m better at it now. But part of the way that I stay interested in making music is by collaborating with other people. When I see things through somebody else’s perspective it’s more exciting than if I’m left to my own devices”.
“Y’know, I haven’t played this record for too many people yet”, he adds. “I played it for Greg Dulli, who played on some of it, and he was like, ‘Wow, I had to listen to it twice – it sounds like he’s having a good time'”.
So there you go. Lanegan will play some UK shows in June, the dates of which are these:
19 Jun: Birmingham, Library
20 Jun: Glasgow, Garage
21 Jun: Manchester, Ritz
22 Jun: London, Koko
Here’s first single ‘Nocture’:
