DESCRIPTION:
Rock - Phantom Radio is the much-anticipated new album from The Mark Lanegan Band. Lanegan's chief compositional tool on Phantom Radio was his phone - specifically an app called Funk Box. "I didn't bother to hook up my 909 and 808 this time," he says, "because the app had 'em. I'd write drum parts with it then add music with the synthesizer or the guitar." The album grew organically from these synthetic roots, taking in Mark's ongoing love of Krautrock and also an '80s new wave show on Sirius satellite radio, his favoured aural companion as he drives around Los Angeles. "They have a few good shows but the '80s one in particular I like," he says. "That's the music that was happening when I started making music. And although the Trees drew on Nuggets psychedelia, 13th Floor Elevators and Love, we were actually listening to Echo And The Bunnymen, Rain Parade, the Gun Club. A lot of British post-punk. We loved that stuff. I just waited until I was in my late forties before I started ripping it off." Lanegan's generous collaborative spirit sees him deliver an excellent co-write with British guitarist Duke Garwood, with whom he made last year's dustbowl-desolate 'Black Pudding', and who now offers the music for 'I Am The Wolf', a Lanegan signature tune. Mark's favourite song on the album, meanwhile, is 'Torn Red Heart', an intensely tender meditation for a broken heart that's like The Velvet Underground's 'Pale Blue Eyes' orchestrated by Angelo Badalamenti

Mark Lanegan (born November 25, 1964) is an American rock musician and songwriter. Lanegan began his music career in the 1980s, forming the grunge group Screaming Trees with Gary Lee Conner, Van Conner and Mark Pickerel. During his time in the band Lanegan would start a low-key solo career. Besides Screaming Trees, Lanegan also found moderate success and good recognition from his solo projects and also joining, for a time, hard rock band Queens of the Stone Age giving contributions on the critically and commercially successful albums Rated R, Songs for the Deaf and Lullabies to Paralyze.
Screaming Trees eventually disbanded in 2000 and although Lanegan became a permanent member of Queens of the Stone Age for a period he continued to collaborate on tracks with other artists such as Melissa Auf der Maur, Martina Topley Bird, Creature with the Atom Brain and recently on Black River by the electronic outfit, Bomb the Bass. Since leaving the Queens of the Stone Age in 2005, Lanegan has worked with fellow Gutter Twin Greg Dulli's Twilight Singers as well as collaborating with Soulsavers and former Belle and Sebastian singer and cellist Isobel Campbell (on three albums). His latest solo studio release was Bubblegum released in 2004. He served as co-lead singer of the alternative rock band The Gutter Twins along with Greg Dulli, a collaboration which began in 2003 and released their debut Saturnalia on Sub Pop in March 2008.
