Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan have joined forces again to release a third album titled Hawk due for release in the UK on 16th August through V2/Cooperative Music. They will be touring the UK and Europe in September this year. More dates are yet to be confirmed but they will also be playing Belle and Sebastian’s Bowlie 2 ATP in Minehead, England in December.
Former Belle and Sebastian member Isobel Campbell and former Screaming Trees frontman/Queens of the Stone Age collaborator/Gutter Twins member Mark Lanegan are like a modern day Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. With two great albums under their belt including the 2006 Mercury Prize-nominated Ballad of the Broken Seas, Hawk will be their most definitive artistic statement yet as they continue to tap into the rich roots of their previous successes.
Mark Lanegan sings on eight of the album’s 13 songs, and singer-songwriter Willy Mason also guests on two. Former Smashing Pumpkin James Iha plays guitar on “You Won’t Let Me Down Again”. The album features covers of two Townes Van Zandt songs, “No Place to Fall” and “Snake Song”.
