Dulli and Lanegan have spent most of the 2000s collaborating flirtatiously, touring and recording together- check out Lanegan's vocals on the Twilight Singers' cover of 'Flashback' by Fat Freddy's Drop, from their 2006 EP A Stitch in Time- but Saturnalia is their long-in-the-works debut as the Gutter Twins, a partnership that Dulli describes as 'the Satanic Everly Brothers.' The 'Satanic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' might be a little more apt: The album finds them bursting forth from their studio, guns blazing but no clean getaway in sight.
