New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today Shindig Magazine has premiered Mark Sultan's new single "Coffin Nails", taken from forthcoming record 'Let Me Out' due out October 12th on
Modern Sky USA / Dirty Water Records. "Coffin Nails" features Sultan's signature soulful vocals alongside winding harmonica and a toe-tapping guitar line, with full band instrumentation by Sultan himself.
Crafted and produced (playing all the instruments himself) in his own Personal Imperfection studio deep in the forests of Berlin, 'Let Me Out' is a return to form by the rock and roll legend whose adventurous decades-long career in music has never sounded more cohesive.
Cosigned by celebrated labels In The Red, Last Gang, Crypt, Fat Possum, Dirtnap, Goner, Sub Pop, Vice, Bomp!, Norton, Sympathy For The Record Industry, and Wick (Daptone Records), Mark Sultan has compiled an impressive discography of collaborations, side projects and solo efforts taking classic garage rock sounds and contorting them in experimental and twisted new ways.
Earning the respect of legends like Jon Spencer and Bradford Cox alongside his past work with King Khan and the
Black Lips, Sultan "doesn't simply revive old sounds and old excitements; he ingests them, digests them, and regurgitates them as something new and personal" (Pitchfork).
"A criminally underappreciated garage rock cult hero who puts on a one-man-band live show so sincerely passionate that he makes most primitive rock 'n' roll revivalists look like cynical imposters....anyone who believes in him needs to pick up this one-take improvised stream-of-consciousness limited-edition live album...deranged but brilliant." - NOW Toronto
"...There's a powerful, surprisingly complicated interplay of emotional currents in these songs, so that even in the most overt party anthems have a raw and wounded underbelly. That's probably what makes them interesting, in a way that most 1960s-referencing garage rock is not. Mark Sultan breathes fire into genres that, in most hands, only gather dust. He's learned to embrace his anger, and if that doesn't save rock 'n' roll, it does at least make for a gripping take on it." -

About Mark Sultan: Deep in the forest outside of Berlin, one of rock 'n' roll's most under the radar yet omnipresent figures is putting the finishing touches on his latest solo record, but in fact traces of Mark Sultan can be found around the world. Cosigned by celebrated labels In The Red, Last Gang, Crypt, Fat Possum, Dirtnap, Goner, Sub Pop, Vice, Bomp!, Norton, Sympathy For The Record Industry, and Wick (Daptone Records), you're bound to have come across something with Sultan's name on it, where over the course of multiple decades he's compiled an insane discography built from the strength of multiple albums, side projects and top-shelf solo efforts, always with a strong deposition towards taking classic garage-rock sounds and contorting them in experimental and twisted new ways. For this most recent effort, written, recorded and produced in his own Personal Imperfection studio in Germany, Sultan once again ups the ante, working to implement a full band and fully fleshed out instrumentation. Still encompassing the ethos of individuality and charisma that has lent him a sound that has transcended any era by which you might try to nail him down, it may be his most cohesive statement yet.
