A ROUGH TRADE & MOJO BOOK OF THE YEAR
From the back of the van to the front of the bar, from the hotel room to the emergency room, onstage, backstage, & everywhere in between, Sing Backwards & Weep reveals the abrasive reality beneath one of the most romanticized decades in rock history-from a survivor who lived to tell the tale.When Mark Lanegan first arrived in Seattle in the mid-1980s, he was just "an arrogant, self-loathing redneck waster seeking transformation through rock 'n' roll." Within less than a decade, he would rise to fame as the front man of the Screaming Trees, then fall from grace as a low-level crack dealer & a homeless heroin addict, all the while watching some of his closest friends rocket to the pinnacle of popular music.
In Sing Backwards & Weep, Lanegan takes readers back to the sinister, needle-ridden streets of Seattle, to an alternative music scene that was simultaneously bursting with creativity & saturated with drugs. He tracks the tumultuous rise & fall of the Screaming Trees, from a brawling, acid-rock bar band to world-famous festival favourites with an enduring legacy that still resonates. Lanegan's personal struggles with addiction, culminating in homelessness, petty crime, & the tragic deaths of his closest friends, is documented with a painful honesty &  pathos.
Gritty, gripping, & unflinchingly raw, Sing Backwards is a book about more than just an extraordinary singer who watched his dreams catch fire & incinerate the ground beneath his feet. Instead, it's about a man who learned how to drag himself from the wreckage, dust off the ashes, & keep living & creating.
