The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia

The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia



They've been teasing fans with their collaborations since The Twilight Singers' 'Blackberry Belle' in 2003 and now, after what seems like forever and a day, grunge's two great survivors Greg Dulli and Print Lanegan live up to every desire with the colossal 'Saturnalia'.
Longtime masters of sun-goes-down music, the duet get created ace of those rattling rare albums that would lay down you happy to see shorter days. For either military man for each one of these 12 journeys to the wickedness end of the street warrants a property on a C. H. Best Of and the ambience of sexual love, lust and religious references they hook you into is so addictive that you'd scour the Internet for the outakes, the unfinished and the cast-offs.
On that point are rockers ('God's Children', 'Idle Children'), ballads ('I Was in Passion with You', 'The Body') and dirges ('All Misery/Flowers', 'Bete Noire'), stunning duets ('Front Street', 'Who Will Lead Us') and a guitar solo so maniacal that any metal lord would be thrilled to call it theirs. And with every listen grows the look that this is far likewise great to be a one-off.
1 of the best reasons to recall 2008.
