A previously unreleased Mark Lanegan song titled “Heard a Train” has been unveiled ahead of the reissue of the late singer-songwriter’s 2004 album Bubblegum.
Last month, it was announced that the reissue, titled Bubblegum XX, would arrive in different formats on August 23rd, including a 4-LP/3-CD box set containing a plethora of unreleased songs, demos, and rarities.
Now, the Bubblegum outtake “Heard a Train” is available to stream below. The song begins with a simple organ and Lanegan’s recognizable voice, before kicking into a full-band performance.
In addition to a handful of outtakes, including one featuring Beck (“Union Tombstone”), the deluxe reissue also contains a number of songs recorded with Queens of the Stone Age’s Troy Van Leeuwen dubbed “The Hotel Sessions.”
Sadly, Lanegan passed away at the young age of 57 in February 2022. In addition to his solo work, the acclaimed singer was the frontman of Screaming Trees and a member of QOTSA and The Gutter Twins.
Listen to “Heard a Train” below, and pre-order Bubblegum XX on vinyl via Amazon, or as a deluxe box set at this location.
