Great performance from Mark Lanegan and his band at The Academy in Dublin last night. Their new album, Phantom Radio, is highly recommended.
The Snake Song. Brilliant blues track by Soulsavers’ lead vocalist Mark Lanegan and Scottish songwriter Isobel Campbell.
You can slip in
Try to find me
Hold your breath and
Flat deny me
It makes no difference
To my thinkin’
I’ll be here when
You start sinkin’.
Pounding melancholy with an electronic twist. Real darkness, real vivid images and a startling lyricism. Here is a taste of her music, ranging from a more acoustic, slow, austere and funereal rock to a ‘synthesized doom folk‘ and its all-consuming crescendos.
And here is Mark Lanegan‘s cover of Flatlands. Exquisite.
