Somebody's Knocking is the eleventh studio album by American singer Mark Lanegan (credited to "Mark Lanegan Band").[7] It was released through Heavenly Recordings on October 18, 2019.

Critical reception[]

The Guardian wrote that the album "is limited to trying to re-create the mood of Manchester in the 1980s ... you can’t help but laugh at the brazenness of it."[3] Clash called it "probably the most cheerful album Lanegan has released under his own name, despite still sounding like Joy Division at their moodiest."[8]
