THE GUTTER TWINS - SATURNALIA (CD)

The Gutter Twins Saturnalia On CD

Saturnalia is the highly anticipated first album from The Gutter Twins, the collaboration forged in late 2003 by Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees) and fellow maverick singer-songwriter Greg Dulli (The Afghan Whigs). Saturnalia finds the duo nicknamed “the Satanic Everly Brothers” going even deeper into the shadows than ever before. Mystical, unpredictable, ultimately masterful, the album both embodies and defies any expectations suggested by the principals’ individual notoriety. Pointedly not resting on the sonic laurels of their previous successes, Saturnalia instead proves rootsy but baroque, handmade yet modernist, teeming with siren melodies that don’t resolve. Produced by Dulli and Lanegan along with the band’s unofficial third member Mathias Schneeberger, Saturnalia’s eerie modal swirls trap the listener in each song’s atmosphere; simultaneously evoking everything from Indian sitars to Appalachian folk and Delta grit, the drones inadvertently create narcotic hooks. Spartan electronica indelibly collides with spooky space blues on “Who Will Lead Us?”; “Idle Hands” fuses Middle Eastern exoticism with shocking guitar riffs that shoot AC/DC boogie into another galaxy. The cumulative effect proves internal yet epic, ultimately feeling like the determinedly individual product of two auteurs coming together.
