New details regarding singer-songwriter Mark Lanegan’s upcoming album Phantom Radio have been revealed. The new Mark Lanegan Band LP will be released on October 14, according to a Vagrant press release.

For Phantom Radio, Lanegan enlisted the help of friends and past collaborators. The album was produced by Alain Johannes and features co-writes on some of its songs. British guitarist Duke Garwood, who collaborated with Lanegan on their 2013 album Black Pudding, assisted in the creation of “I Am The Wolf.” Dutch violinist Sietse Van Gorkom co-wrote the trip-hop-inspired song “The Killing Season.” On “Floor Of The Ocean,” Lanegan’s girlfriend of the past ten years, Shelley Brien, joins him on vocals.

Lanegan says of “Floor Of The Ocean”: “It’s rare for me to be moved by my own, but that song has a sadness that actually affected me when I heard it back. I’m very fond of it.”

Following in the same recording style as 2012′s Blues Funeral, Lanegan recorded every song he wrote for the album: “[Lanegan] would write a song. Bring it to Alain Johannes, his producer, who then arranged the recording at his West Hollywood studio. Once the song was recorded, Mark took a few days off and then wrote another.”
