Columbia Records will release It’s Not How Far You Fall, It’s The Way You Land, the critically-acclaimed new album from Soulsavers, on Tuesday, October 16.

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” (a song from his 1994 solo album, Whiskey For The Holy Ghost).

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” (from 1975’s Zuma), “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” (from the 1968 Rolling Stones release Beggar’s Banquet).

With It’s Not How Far You Fall, It’s The Way You Land, Soulsavers continue to draw inspiration from a broad range of influences including Johnny Cash, the Velvet Underground, Ennio Morricone, Public Enemy, Nick Cave, John Coltrane, Bob Dylan, John Lee Hooker, the Stooges, and the recordings of Stax/Volt and Motown.
