After the successful release of their debut album, Saturnalia, veteran rockers Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan (Afghan Whigs and Screaming Trees) of The Gutter Twins are set to release a brand new EP entitled Adorata and featuring reinterpretations of songs by the likes of Vetiver, Jose Gonzales, and Primal Scream. The eight-song EP will include The Gutter Twins‘ take on songs such as “Belle” by Vetiver, “Flow Like a River” by Eleven, and “Down the Line” by Jose Gonzales.
In addition to the six songs by their fellow peers, the new album will include two previously unreleased, original tracks by the duo: “Spanish Doors” and “We Have Met Before.” Proceeds from the iTunes exclusive album, out September 2nd, will benefit the Natasha Schneider Memorial Fund, founded in honor of the late keyboardist and vocalist from Eleven.
