Straight Songs Of Sorrow
Following the success of last yearâs âSomebodyâs Knockingâ LP and his astonishing memoir 'Sing Backwards and Weep, Mark Lanegan released his new solo album, âStraight Songs Of Sorrowâ.
The album, which is closely aligned to his forthcoming memoir, âSing Backwards And Weepâ, features guest appearances from Greg Dulli, Warren Ellis, John Paul Jones, Ed Harcourt and more.
When considering any great work of art, itâs natural to wonder what might have inspired it: âthe story behind the songâ. Mark Laneganâs new album, âStraight Songs Of Sorrowâ, flips that equation. Here are 15 songs inspired by a story: his life story, as documented by his own hand in his new memoir, âSing Backwards And Weepâ.
The book is a brutal, nerve-shredding read, thanks to Laneganâs unsparing candour in recounting a journey from troubled youth in eastern Washington, through his drug-stained existence amid the â90s Seattle rock scene, to an unlikely salvation at the dawn of the 21st century. Thereâs death and tragedy, yet also humour and hope, thanks to the tenacity which impels its host, even at his lowest moments.
âStraight Songs Of Sorrowâ combines musical trace elements from early Mark Lanegan albums with the synthesized constructs of later work. The album feels both definitive and unique, a culmination of its creatorâs arc yet also indicative of the energy that drives him onto future horizons. No wonder Lanegan is proud.
