NEW VINYL LP ON PLAY IT AGAIN SAM 2017

180 GRAM VINYL.

Gargoyle, Mark Lanegan’s fourth album under the moniker the Mark Lanegan Band, opens with a song called “Death’s Head Tattoo,” and given the singer’s chronically gloomy outlook on the world around him, that title sounds like it could be the height of clich in Lanegan’s hands. But thanks to his intelligence as a songwriter and his gifts as a vocalist, even under the worst circumstances Lanegan would deliver something worth hearing, and “Death’s Head Tattoo” turns out to be more perceptive than one might have feared. Similarly, Gargoyle turns out to be a more satisfying listen than the previous Mark Lanegan Band albums.
