The Word On... Blues Funeral, Mark Lanegan Band
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.
"The singer has done something few probably expected of him at this point: made a blatant and lackluster attempt to keep up with the times... Lanegan's voice may be timeless, but its versatility has its limits – and 'Blues Funeral' tests those limits just a little too much." avclub.com
"Some might find Lanegan's all-encompassing dour nature too much over the course of an entire album but ultimately it's impossible not to get swept away by the emergency room blues of "Leviathan", or the electro-swamp-psychedelia thrum of "Tiny Grain of Truth"." musicomh.com
"'Blues Funeral''s open-door policy sees Lanegan stirring together electronica, processed beats, spaghetti Westerns, southern '60s soul, folk and all-out sonic onslaughts to blend his most satisfying and heady brew to date." thequietus.com
