Mark Lanegan — black-night song-poet with the prematurely weathered voice sponsored by Camel, ex-singer of Seattle psyche-grunge band Screaming Trees, one of three current QOTSA vocalists, arguably contemporary rock’s greatest interpreter of others’ songs, the man who’s suffered and self-loathed and self-redeemed so you didn’t have to — appears on the heels of a spectacularly grimy, spooked racket of a new EP (Here Comes That Weird Chill). His band is like some sort of Pacific Coast All-Stars: a bunch of lifers featuring Caustic Resin’s sun-blistering guitarist Brett Netson, ex-Failure/ex–A Perfect Circle/current-QOTSA guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and ex–Afghan Whigs singer Greg Dulli on keys.
Here Comes That Weird Chill
The first Mark Lanegan Band release. Mark has played solo for a long time, and also with his band, Screaming Trees, who had a large cult following during the grunge days of the early 90s, but this is something else.
