Soulsavers - Paper Money

Mark Lanegan is a proper catalyst. He's like Miracle Grow for music. With the communion of Lanegan's growl on Paper Money, Soulsavers' everyday, downbeat psuedo-electronica is transfigured into a lush gospel of sex-as-redemption. The 2007 collaboration between Soulsavers and the former frontman of Screaming Trees is called It's Not How Far You Fall, It's Where You Land. It's lush, dark and dirty. Dig that crazy distorted organ and the sex-wild choir moans between verses. It's as if an incubus barred the church door, killed the lights, and pleasured the congregation by candlelight. Don't you ever leave me baby, I believe that you can save me. This is not a breakfast song - crank it up at five to midnight when you're drunk and foggy.
