Final Sale Mark Lanegan: With Animals (CD) | Freebird Records

With Animals is the second collaborative studio album by American singer-songwriter Mark Lanegan and English multi-instrumentalist Duke Garwood.

With Animals is an analogue sort of album. Partly recorded in Joshua Tree, the desert atmosphere has seeped into its grooves, conjuring images of dust bowls and vast skies. In general, Mark Lanegan and Duke Garwood’s latest collaboration is a traditional blues album, mourning lost loves and fixing broken hearts.

The title track sees Lanegan retreating from human society to lick his wounds, relying on the companionship of animals to pull himself through. It’s a gravelly, mournful tune that captures the spirit of the record – that of a man grasping for a light in the darkness.
