Pre-Order: Isobel Campbell - Hawk [Reissue]

The long-awaited vinyl re-issue of 'Hawk' from Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan.Isobel Campbell (ex-Belle & Sebastian) and Mark Lanegan (ex-Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) third album Hawk, will be reissued on November 6th on LP and CD.Hawk builds on the critical acclaim of 2006's Mercury Prize-nominated Ballad of the Broken Seas and 2008's Sunday at Devil Dirt, solidifying the duo's signature dynamic-Campbell's ethereal, whispery arrangements juxtaposed against Lanegan's deep, gravelly baritone. Written, arranged, and produced entirely by Campbell, Hawk was recorded across studios in Scotland, England, and the United States. The 13-track record expands their sonic palette far beyond classic country-folk, venturing into dusty Southern soul, garage-rock stomps, and soaring gospel arrangements. ""With this record, I wanted to stretch the canvas further,"" says Isobel Campbell. ""Mark and I have built a true shorthand together over the years, which gave us the freedom to push into heavier grooves, raw blues, and sweeping orchestral textures while keeping the core intimacy intact. Album Highlights & Key Collaborations ""You Won't Let Me Down Again"" - The album's lead single, driven by a hypnotic rhythm and featuring a searing guitar solo from former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha. ""Come Undone"" - A moody, slow-burning Southern soul ballad showcasing Lanegan at his most vulnerable. Townes Van Zandt Covers - Faithfully rendered versions of ""Snake Song"" and ""No Place To Fall,"" the latter featuring guest vocals from American singer-songwriter Willy Mason. ""Lately"" - A cinematic album closer that swaps the pair's vocal interplay for a rousing, brass-tinged gospel choir.Packaging: LP, 180g, Black Poly-lined Inner, Single Sleeve
