Our Take

Mark Lanegan's latest offering, "Straight Songs of Sorrow," is a brooding masterpiece that delves deep into the dark corners of the human experience. Lanegan's gravelly voice is as haunting as ever, effortlessly bringing life to the gritty, introspective lyrics.

The album kicks off with the haunting opener, "I Wouldn't Want to Say," setting the tone for the introspective journey ahead. Lanegan's signature blend of blues, rock, and folk are on full display throughout, creating a sonic landscape that is as captivating as it is unsettling.

Tracks like "Hanging On (For DRC)" and "At Zero Below" showcase Lanegan's ability to weave complex emotions into his music, while "Stockholm City Blues" takes the listener on a melancholic journey through the dark streets of the Swedish capital.

But it's on songs like "Bleed All Over" and "Daylight in the Nocturnal House" where Lanegan truly shines, his raw, emotive vocals cutting through the darkness like a beacon of light.

Overall, "Straight Songs of Sorrow" is a powerful and deeply personal album that showcases Lanegan at the top of his game. With its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, this is a record that will stay with you long after the music fades.
