Tragedy, Solace & Hope
A frequent collaborator with the late, great Mark Lanegan, Humanist is the recording alias of multi-instrumentalist Rob Marshall. Commenting on the new single Marshall says: “Tim’s voice has always had a profound effect on me. In Too Many Rivals it stirs emotions that are both familiar yet strangely unknown. With this piece, Tim delves really deep, evoking a mix of tragedy, solace, and hope. It’s a masterful performance where his melody seamlessly intertwines with my music. It’s a collaboration I’m really proud of.”
On The Edge Of A Lost And Lonely World is the second album from Humanist following 2020’s self-titled debut.
The triumphant first LP featured vocal contributions from Mark Lanegan, Mark Gardener (Ride) and Joel Cadbury (UNKLE) and Dave Gahan, who appeared on the track Shock Collar, watch below:
