Having worked together on a number of releases over the years, Mark Lanagan and Duke Garwood have now announced the details behind their second collaborative album.
The new full-length 'With Animals' follows on from their 2013 LP 'Black Pudding', although Garwood also contributed to Lanegan's latest solo album 'Gargoyle' last year, and is set to be released on the 24th August via Heavenly Recordings.
“Over the years, we’ve recorded together and apart. This time, I started this record alone, with many animals as company,” says Garwood. “It flowed, I set to work and out it came. Our music is instinct, there is not much talking about it, just creating. I think that if you are at peace with your work, and feeling it right, it flows, and can feel ‘easy’. Music isn't meant to be hard. Though sometimes it can burn you to ashes. Making music for a singer, so they can inhabit it with a song means hitting the right soul buttons. There is no hit without a miss. It is a healing record, for us the makers, and for the listeners. It grows natural. We are gardeners of sonic feelings.”
