In the dark with Soulsavers

Looking for something sufficiently dark to play as you prepare yourself for Halloween? If so, look no further than It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land, the second album by UK group Soulsavers. The album took Rich Machin and Ian Glover, the nucleus of Soulsavers, and Mark Lanegan (who's worked with Screaming Trees, Queens Of The Stone Age and Isabel Campbell) three years to produce.

In that time, the trio produced ten tracks that are part rock and roll, part electronica, and part pure darkness (can it be a part and still pure? hmmm). Think Tricky and you won't be too far off, although with a touch less techno to it. Or maybe I should say it has more of an organic electronica feel to it as opposed to an artificial one (if that makes sense). Either way, the album has a haunting feel to it that will stick with you. It came out last week and is available now. Pick it up to spin for October 31st, and if you happen to live on one of the coasts, catch them live at the end of November / beginning of December (tour dates below).
