Saturnalia – HULIQ

The Gutter Twins | HULIQ
Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli make up The Gutter Twins. Saturnalia, the first album from The Gutter Twins (in March 2008), has seen the near-mythic duo collaborate their strength to create what Pitchforkmedia.com has announced them as being “two of alt-rock’s greatest front-men.” Dulli has nicknamed this album: “the Satanic Everly [...]

No. 32 – The Gutter Twins Saturnalia
No big surprise that the long-awaited collaboration between ’90s-vintage gloom kings Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli wasn’t exactly the feel-good hit of the year. But the former’s narcoleptic, baritone moan and the latter’s mischievous, soulful wail give these mid-tempo dirges, [...]

Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan have a consistently touch-and-go, seemingly fickle collaborative past. Lanegan appears here and there on Dulli’s Twilight Singers material, hardly at the helm, often in the background. The two have been flirting with the idea of The Gutter Twins for the past couple years, with [...]

RTÉ.ie Entertainment: The Gutter Twins – Saturnalia
They’ve been teasing fans with their collaborations since The Twilight Singers’ ‘Blackberry Belle’ in 2003 and now, after what seems like forever, grunge’s two great survivors Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan satisfy every desire with the colossal ‘Saturnalia’.
Longtime masters of sun-goes-down music, the duo have created one of those [...]

Saturnalia – Junk Media

Rating: 4/5
Has Greg Dulli found religion? Its hard not to think so after hearing Saturnalia, the debut record from his long-in-gestation collaboration with Mark Lanegan, where the two dark lords of alt-rock sing of regret, redemption and, well, God. Practically every song is filled with religious and Biblical imagery, some literal album-opener “The Stations,” where [...]

Saturnalia – Harp (Full Review)

Harpmagazine.com
Greg Dulli is a hot dog, a fast-talking soul boy whose giddy literate lyricism made his dippy punkish Afghan Whigs the oddball toast of Sub Pop’s early-’90s label establishment. By the time Dulli got to the harder, groovier stuff (literally, in regard to his addiction-addled chatter) of the Twilight Singers, he couldn’t shut the speed [...]

The Gutter Twins’ sound matches name in ‘Saturnalia’
By Thomas Rozwadowski
You won’t find a more appropriate new band name than The Gutter Twins.
It’s music mired in grime, with spiritual imagery swirling amid the dark Gothic overtones and disparate vocals of alt-rock’s two most indulgent figureheads, Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan.
The stellar collaboration has been several years [...]

The Gutter Twins’ latest album was worth the wait
By Tim Lee
Hailed initially, albeit by themselves, as the “Satanic Everly Brothers,” the Gutter Twins finally delivered their long-awaited full length, “Saturnalia.” The group pairs the duo of Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs, Twilight Singers) and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) in an [...]

Saturnalia – Playback

Playback Magazine by Bob Gendron
Music: 4.5/5 Sound: 4/5 “Must Hear”
Rumored for more than five years and hinted at via a succession of collaborations, the prospect of the Gutter Twins – a partnership between inimitable vocalists Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli – has until now existed as more of a tantalizing fantasy than a formal entity. [...]

The brilliant duo of Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli
I’ve had access to downloading much more music from the Internet lately, and there have been a few new releases by bands of interest. One that was garnering a great deal of attention when I was in London with a couple very [...]
