Rough Trade Exclusive. Black Sleeve with White Print. Limited to 1000 copies. Catalog Number: LANEGANXMAS1LPX Color: Clear Format: LP Dark Mark aka Mark Lanegan successfully takes some traditional Christmas songs, Christmas covers plus some originals and twists them into a dark, melancholic affair. Standouts include Burn The Flames, originally recorded by Roky Erickson and Lanegan makes this sinister song, even more sinister. The Everley Brothers Christmas Eve Can Kill You is stripped back and haunting, whilst the Lanegan original A Christmas Song is delicate and heartbreaking. "Originally recorded to sell as merch at a pair of acoustic Christmas shows in 2012, this collection of songs has been my most enduring bootleg since then. I'm glad to make this expanded version an official Rough Trade release, it's one of my favourite records I have done." Mark Lanegan.
