Description

Black Pudding is a collaborative album by Mark Lanegan and the multi-instrumentalist Duke Garwood.

Garwood, a multi-instrumentalist who has worked with the Orb, Wire, Wooden Wand, Sir Richard Bishop, and Kurt Vile, among others, worked with Lanegan previously when he toured as part of The Gutter Twins, the singer's project with Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs.

In his 2017 book I Am the Wolf: Music and Writings, Lanegan writes that collaborator Isobel Campbell gave him a copy of Garwood's album Emerald Palace during the sessions for Sunday at Devil Dirt, and he was impressed with the "beautiful, dark, and off-kilter music." 

After meeting, Lanegan realised they were "kindred spirits," recalling in I Am the Wolf, "Over the course of the next several years, we sent song ideas back and forth, and in late 2012 we convened at Josh Homme's Pink Duck studio in Burbank, California, with producer Justin Smith to record Black Pudding. The finished album contains some of my favorite songs: 'Mescalito' is a song I always enjoy playing live, and 'Last Rung,' 'Driver,' and 'War Memorial' are, to me, as perfect as anything I could ever hope to be a part of."
