Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan
There has always been something mildly perverse when it comes to the sight of the innocently framed Isobel Campbell sitting side by side with the vagrantly-suited, furiously-browed Mark Lanegan. However, when Campbell’s sweet tones have met the sub-baritone rasp of Lanegan, it has largely been a decadently desirable meeting of heaven and hell. With their third album, Hawk, released this month, the duo are becoming less of a collaborative collision of Grunge Godfather and Glaswegian girl done good, more a full-bodied, melancholy country amalgam, and with Campbell’s song-writing prowess going from strength to strength, there’s no better time to savour this duo.
