CD Mark Lanegan Band – Somebody's Knocking

Mark Lanegan returns with Somebody’s Knocking, his 11th studio album via Heavenly Recordings. Following a storied 35-year career that spans his time with Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age, and numerous acclaimed collaborations, Lanegan’s latest release represents a bold, adventurous pivot into the sounds of the 1980s.

On Somebody’s Knocking, Lanegan trades his signature desolate croon for an emboldened, groove-heavy aesthetic. Drawing clear inspiration from the post-punk and gothic sounds of the era, the album channels the influence of New Order, Depeche Mode, and The Cure, reimagined through Lanegan’s singular, gravel-voiced vision. The result is a record that balances dark, menacing undertones with an unexpected sense of fun and swagger.

Key Highlights:

• A Retro-Futurist Sound: A dive into synth-pop, post-punk, and electronic experimentation.
• Standout Tracks: Includes the swaggering, rock-and-roll opener "Disbelief Suspension" and the high-energy "Stitch It Up."
• A Master of Reinvention: Features a versatile performance that pairs stories of modern chaos with the dark, moody atmosphere fans have come to love.

Whether you’re a longtime follower of the "surly rock pinup" or a newcomer to his vast discography, Somebody’s Knocking is a testament to Lanegan’s fearless evolution as a songwriter and performer.
