en ligne Eat Dust LP – Mark Lanegan: Scraps At Midnight

Gatefold LP.

“Scraps At Midnight” is the third solo album by former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan. It was produced by Mark Lanegan and longtime collaborator Mike Johnson, and was originally released in 1998 on Sub Pop.

“Scraps at Midnight” could arguably be considered the final installment of a trilogy of albums (preceded by The Winding Sheet & Whiskey For The Holy Ghost) which feature the songwriter’s interpretation of American roots music set to troubling lyrics that explore themes of loss, sin, and redemption. In a 2004 interview, Lanegan stated “That’s always been my goal since I started…It’s sort of been my obsession to make records that had the feeling of the blues, the spirit of them, I think, but without being what we’d consider to be traditional blues, or twelve bar bar band blues, which is a boring, outdated mode and I’m not interested in it. But I am interested in the real feelings behind it.”
