More than three years in the making, It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land is the first album of new music from Soulsavers since the group's 2003 debut, Tough Guys Don't Dance. The album is also the first to showcase the band's newest collaborator, the mythic grunge-rock progenitor Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens Of The Stone Age), adding his signature gritty and growling saw-tooth vocals and eerie lyrical mysteries to the Soulsavers' brooding musical core provided by the English production/remix team of Rich Machin and Ian Glover. Bringing a set of essential components to the new Soulsavers' collection, Lanegan sings on eight of the album's ten tracks while co-authoring five, including a revamped "cover" of his own "Kingdoms of Rain."
Recorded and produced by The Soulsavers, It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land contains seven new Soulsavers originals as well as covers of Neil Young's "Through My Sails," which also finds Will Oldham joining on harmony, "Spiritual" (written by Josh Haden for 1995's cult-classic The Blue Moods Of Spain), and a tour-de-force reinterpretation of the Mick Jagger/Keith Richards composition "No Expectations."
