Free Music Review: A strange Collaboration that works so well
Hit: 5 Stars
Who would have thought that a rising scottish singer would team up with a lost Seattle grunge legend to make a country blues record but it happened and Im glad it did. Isobel Campbell soft almost childlike voice strangley blends perfectly with Mark Lanegans rapsy old country twang. Ballad Of The Broken Seas is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that keeps you wanting more. I wonder if they will duet again be interesting to see what direction they would go in. Great album
Ballad of the Broken Seas Poster
While duets have been often turned into pairings that dilute both participants into toothless blobs, that's not the case here. Scottish singer Isobel Campbell, formerly of Belle & Sebastian here teams up with Mark Lanegan, formerly of Screaming Trees and collaborator with Queens of the Stone Age. It's a classic beauty and the beast alignment, with Lanegan's gruff baritone sounding like the protector of a beautiful little bird. This is a combination that's been done with success previously by the likes of Lee Hazelwood & Nancy Sinatra, and Serge Gainsbourg with Jane Birkin. The instrumental settings further underscore the gorgeously weathered timelessness of these dozen songs. This is music that straddles several centuries, updating traditions with confidence and subtle invention. --David GreenbergerThere's a certain "beauty & the beast" quality to the greatest male/female, singer/songwriter duos. Consider Jane Birken hooking up with Serge Gainsburg, or Nancy Sintra and Lee Hazelwood. And so it is with "Ballad of the Broken Seas", an album length collaboration between Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan.There's a similar contrast between Isobel's aching, pristine chill of a voice and Lanegan's wounded, regret-stewed burr.
Scottish chanteuse Isobel Campbell has inked a long term world-wide recording deal with V2 records.
