↓  Editorial Reviews  ↓
≡    Recorded in LA, Pasadena and Joshua Tree, With Animals is the second album by Mark Lanegan and Duke Garwood, two artists who’ve spent their careers stalking the peripheries and mapping sounds of the small hours. As befits a record called With Animals, these dusty songs feel like they were created in the company of the denizens of the night. Analogue and dust flecked, it’s as if Lanegan and Garwood have been holed up in a ‘60s recording studio while the apocalypse rages outside. Over the last decade, Lanegan and Garwood have worked in tangent on 2013’s Black Pudding as well as on Lanegan’s solo records (2012’s Blues Funeral and 2017’s Gargoyle after which Garwood toured as part of Lanegan’s band).
≡    The writing and recording of ‘With Animals’ was split between studio collaboration and sharing music between Garwood’s home in London and Los Angeles where Lanegan resides. Technology made the duo’s transatlantic working relationship relatively easy.
Description:
≡    “Over the years, we’ve recorded together and apart. This time, I started this record alone, with many animals as company,” says Garwood.
≡    “It flowed, I set to work and out it came. Our music is instinct, there is not much talking about it, just creating. I think that if you are at peace with your work, and feeling it right, it flows, and can feel ‘easy’. Music isn’t meant to be hard. Though sometimes it can burn you to ashes. Making music for a singer, so they can inhabit it with a song means hitting the right soul buttons. There is no hit without a miss. It is a healing record, for us the makers, and for the listeners. It grows natural. We are gardeners of sonic feelings.”
≡    While ‘Black Pudding’ put Garwood’s mercurial guitar centre stage, ‘With Animals’ is constructed from a different set of tools. Analogue and dust flecked, it sounds like Lanegan and Garwood have been holed up in a ‘60s recording studio while the apocalypse rages outside. Tracks sit on loops that sounds like they’re straight out of There’s A Riot Goin’ On while sparse melodies nod in the direction of British electronic producers like Burial or Boards of Canada. Which is not to say it sounds like any of those things — this is a weird world all of their own design.
∑→     Už ve “Floor Of The Ocean” pozoruji (v úvodní “Harvest Home” jsem si to ještě neuvědomil), že používá arpeggiating kytary, rozvážně pomalu, přes chladnou synth podložku a do toho břitké bicí. V “Judgement Time” hned od počátku vzpomínky na dětství: taky jsem celé dny a roky hrával na harmonium Petrof a ten zvuk mi dodává rodinný pocit.
∑→     Takže co to vlastně je, čím dosahuje, že jeho pochmurné litanie vyzní tak přesvědčivě a zároveň zůstávají vždy povznášející? Zčásti je to spoluprací Lanegana s producentem Alainem Johannesem, z větší části však schopností vykouzlit a zprostředkovat duchovní podstatu písní. Na rozdíl od většiny gothic popu, Laneganovo umění není módní záležitostí, nebo řasenkou k prodloužení obočí: je to skutečný cri du cœur, a všichni, co mají ještě srdce, tuší, jak vzácné a krásné je v hudbě sát.
