It wasn’t the last album he released — his collaboration with Skeleton Joe emerged in late 2021 — but 2020’s Straight Songs of Sorrow, released as a companion piece to his autobiography Sing Backwards and Weep, was Mark Lanegan’s final solo effort before his passing two years later. Backed as ever by a wide range of musician friends, Lanegan’s main instrumental contribution was on a slew of different electronic keyboards, lending his songs, as always defined by his never-less-than-astonishing voice, an often ethereal, uneasy beauty.
