When Mark Lanegan’s seminal grunge band Screaming Trees went their separate ways, one might not have expected him to become the whisky dirge left turn taking successor to Tom Waits. The Gutter Twins is his latest project, in partnership with Greg Dulli, of Afghan Whigs and is (like you would expect) a dark record of lost redemptions, week long drunks and existential angst, all through that incredible fractured growl of Lanegan’s, dirty guitars, synth tones and industrial percussion.
