Beggars Banquet
MARK LANEGAN BAND - Bubblegum LP
$48.95
Such an enveloping sound, it's not ear candy but ear lotion. It's a sip of whiskey when you worked the thirst for it, it's gin on your skin after shaving. The songs last just the right amount of time. They're merely excuses to justify the sound, not because they're bad but because of how understated every arrangement comes just in time - and leaves just in time.
RIP fella.
