His voice is pretty damn foreboding, but Mark Lanegan must be an agreeable guy in person. Saturnalia, his collaboration with head Afghan Whig Greg Dulli as the Gutter Twins, just came out this week, but he's also revisiting his partnership with former Belle & Sebastian member Isobel Campbell on a second album.
Campbell and Lanegan's follow-up to 2006's Ballad of the Broken Seas is called Sunday at Devil Dirt, and it will come out May 5 in the UK on V2/Cooperative Music. Like Ballad, the new album features Lanegan tackling lead vocals while Campbell handles the writing, production, and arrangements.
There's no touring planned behind Sunday at Devil Dirt at the moment, but Lanegan has plenty of Gutter Twins dates to keep him busy for now, including a bunch of newly added European ones. That duo's next show is Friday, March 7, in Chicago. [MORE...]
