The Twilight Singers might ooze grizzled surliness, especially now that they�ve borrowed Mark Lanegan�s trademark growl, but this is too polished to sound even half as gritty as they�d like. The EP cover might show us a filthy, cracked sink, the kind of germ-ridden bathroom that Greg Dulli and pals undoubtedly had to make do with earlier in their careers, but now that they�re touring in a gleaming coach, with all mod-cons as standard, it looks far too much like an act. The unlikely Massive Attack cover �Live With Me� is lifted slightly by Lanegan�s studied drawl, but otherwise this all sounds too soft rock to retain a cutting edge. Disappointingly soulless.
