Soulsavers - It's not how far you fall, it's the way you land
(V2, 2007)
Soulsavers are a duo known for remixing acts like Doves who
emanated from Stoke on Trent; 'it's not how far you fall, it's the way
you land' is their second album and is notable as it features the great
Mark Lanegan
on eight of its eleven tracks. Lanegan is often cited as a tortured
individual who has suffered addictions, it should be pointed out that
he appeared to get over them around the time of 'Scraps at
Midnight/I'll Take Care of You' and has been a workaholic since,
producing his own solo work plus collaborations with The Walkabouts, Martina Topley-Bird, Isobel Campbell, Desert Sessions, Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator, Twilight Singers, Masters of Reality
etc - he also has another project with Twilight Singer' Greg Dulli,
under the Gutter Twins moniker. So, what is effectively an unexpected
solo album from Lanegan is very, very welcome.
This is not Lanegan being backed in the rock style of QOTSA or Screaming Trees, the closest work is the more electronic tracks on 'Bubblegum' or the Martina Topley-Bird collaboration (Lanegan likes the more explorative side of hip hop, like Clouddead, as well as having covered Massive Attack on the last Twilight Singers ep). It's an Eleclectic Recording, a Unique Mix of Hip-hop, Rock, Country, Soul and Gospel.Great album and highly recommended!
