Mark Lanegan Band announce new album Gargoyle, share lead single "Nocturne"

07 February 2017, 18:33 | Written by Laurence Day

The Mark Lanegan Band have announced new record Gargoyle and shared the brilliantly dark lead single "Nocturne".

The LP features contributions from long-time collaborators Greg Dulli, Duke Garwood, and Josh Homme. Rob Marshall and Alain Johannes helped co-write.

"I’m most proud of the songs that are atypical to stuff that I’ve done in the past," says Lanegan. "So I really like 'Old Swan', because it’s an expression of positivity, which is completely anti-anything I’ve done before! Y’know, I haven’t played this record for too many people yet. I played it for Greg Dulli, who played on some of it, and he was like, ‘Wow, I had to listen to it twice - it sounds like he’s having a good time…'"Gargoyle

Lanegan & Co. have also announced a handful of UK shows - including a slot at this year's Glastonbury Festival.
