When former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan recently joined The Twilight
Singers for the August leg of their European tour, Kerrang Magazine declared the
London show at The Scala felt like "a wickedly illicit hit from a masterfully
controlled substance." October 10th 2006 sees that very special chemistry laid
down on record with the release of an EP, entitled, A Stitch In Time, out on One
Little Indian U.S. exclusively through iTunes.
Leading with the showstopping moment from their recent tour, the hypnotic cover
of Massive Attack's "Live With Me" the five track EP not only features the
Twilight Singers alongside Lanegan, but guests Joseph Arthur and Rick McCollum
from Greg Dulli's former group, The Afghan Whigs. The current issue of SPIN
Magazine named "Live With Me" Number 1 on their "Songs You Need To Download
Now!" list for this month.
"Live With Me" was one of two new tracks featured on Massive Attack's 2006
greatest hits compilation "Collected". Dulli has long been recognized for
bringing eclectic influences to his live performances since his Afghan Whigs
days when, as noted by Q Magazine recently, "their sound stirred comparisons of
The Rolling Stones circa 1971 fused with Prince". Other tracks on the EP are
"Sublime", co-written by Dulli and Joseph Arthur, and featuring Arthur on guest
vocals, "Flashback", a cover of New Zealand's finest high-tek soulsters, Fat
Freddy's Drop and features Mark Lanegan again on vocals, "They Ride", co-written
by Dulli and Rick McCollum, and "The Lure Would Prove Too Much" written by
Dulli.
The EP release follows the heavy praise The Twilight Singers received for their
latest album, "Powder Burns", and offers a preview to the highly anticipated
collaboration between Dulli and Lanegan, who are recording an album under the
moniker of The Gutter Twins. Dulli and Lanegan have regularly contributed to
each other's projects since 2000. Lanegan was recently shortlisted for a Mercury
Music Prize in the UK for his previous collaboration with Isobel Campbell,
"Ballad Of The Broken Seas".
Additionally,for the first time since parting company in 2001, former Whigs
bandmates John Curley, Rick McCollum and Michael Horrigan recently joined forces
again with Dulli to record new tracks for an upcoming Rhino retrospective
Unbreakable, at Ardent Studios in Memphis,TN with longtime collaborator Jeff
Powell.
It was during the last U.S. tour in support of the release of Powder Burns that
the Twilight Singers were first joined by Mark Lanegan at an emotional show at
One Eyed Jack's in New Orleans. Both Dulli and Lanegan have strong ties to the
city devastated the year before by Hurricane Katrina.
