Mark Lanegan’s ‘Bubblegum’ Reissue to Include Beck Collaboration, Unreleased Hotel Room Demos
A 20th anniversary of Mark Lanegan's 'Bubblegum' album will include rarities and unreleased songs, including a duet with Beck.
Bubblegum, which came out Aug. 10, 2004, reinvigorated the former Screaming Trees frontman’s solo career thanks to thicker, messier production and sharp, dark-hued songs that featured many notable guests. “I thought of this as a rock record.” Co-produced with desert rock impresario Chris Goss and multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes, the album includes contributions from PJ Harvey, the Afghan Whigs’ Greg Dulli, sometime Guns N’ Roses members Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan, and Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, Van Leewuen, Nick Oliveri, and David Catching, among many others. All of the music, including the original album and the EP Here Comes That Weird Chill (Methamphetamine Blues, Extras & Oddities), which was a double-LP set, has been remastered at Abbey Road.
