SPIN: What motivated this move to Ireland?
Mark Lanegan: Well, I thought about coming here a lot, since most of my business is in the UK and Europe, in terms of where I play. And as far as everything else, I can do the rest of it no matter where I’m at I can write, I can record, I can do stuff for people. As long as I’ve got my recording rig, it doesn’t matter where I’m at. Plus I have Irish heritage my great grandparents come from here. And I like it. These are my people. And I’m in County Kerry, in the Southwest, and it’s really beautiful, physically. The past 90 days, up until a week ago, they were on a major lockdown I think it was Level 5, I’m pretty sure that’s the grade they go by here. But it was pretty dead in town. And now they’ve opened it up for Christmas.
