Mark Lanegan/IYEARA

“Glitchy beats and new wave synths open up a world of untold possibilities…” - The Line of Best Fit

“…barbed, nuanced songwriting…” - Clash Magazine

Mark Lanegan and dark wave band IYEARA are delighted to announce a remix of his entire 2019 album Somebody’s Knocking, as the mischievously reconstructed and reimagined 'Another Knock At The Door' (IYEARA remixes) on 21st August 2020. 

The Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age front man's 11th solo album was a synth-laden and pulsating soundscape. In step with Lanegan's next move - a published memoir (Sing Backwards and Weep) - IYEARA have reworked the whole album, to scrutinise and reveal the nuances and atmospheres within, to re frame Lanegan's lyrics. IYEARA have reimagined the primal, guttural songs in their own image. 

Comprised of The Duke Spirit guitarist Toby Butler, producer Malcolm Carson and vocalist Paul O’Keeffe, IYEARA announced themselves in 2019 through the release of CONSEQUENCES EP; a record including a cover of  Shout by Tears for Fears featuring The Duke Spirit’s Liela Moss. The group have remixed the likes of Laura Marling’s LUMP project, UNKLE, Humanist ft Dave Gahan, The Prodigy, The Boxer Rebellion, Simon Raymonde’s Lost Horizons,  Paris Youth Foundation, The Ting Tings, JoyCut and Lusts.

Playing Nero will be the first single to be released from the album, with IYEARA adding a brooding, industrial edge to a beautiful, wistful original score. This will be followed by a remix of post-punk gem ‘She Loved You’ as IYEARA combine the throbbing synths of John Carpenter with the ethereal, ambient sonics of Tangerine Dream, creating their own cerebral take on the works of a unique, enduring artist.

Mark Lanegan Band - Another Knock At The Door (IYEARA remixes) is out on  21st August 2020.
