December 6, 2012
Unless you’re already familiar with Mark Lanegan’s work alongside Soulsavers, the singer’s love of the sample-slinging Kompakt group WhoMadeWho may seem a little surprising. They just covered one another for Amnesty International however, available here in a 1111-copy red vinyl run. “It’s a great honor to get this kind of respect and recognition by a […]
