I didn't even know there would be a second one. Definitely heaps keen to hear it.

What I was wondering was wether they actually recorded these songs together, in the same room at the same time. With Ballads I think nearly all the vocals were done seperately, which does seems a bit strange for duets. But I loved the album nonetheless.
I don't think I'll be getting it til the end of the week cos I'm pure skint

RNJ~ She said that someone had recommended Mark Lanegan to her for the project and when she heard his voice it was like a godsend They met when he was here playing with QOTSA as far as I know.

yeah, they did.


i read it here: The Return Of Isbobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan

"The Mercury Award-nominated couple of Isobel Campell and Mark Lanegan are set to return with their second collection of wind swept gothic Americana. And this time, they've actually recorded it together.

The follow-up to the critically acclaimed 'Ballad Of The Broken Seas' was recorded between studios in the Catskill Mountains and Glasgow.

Unlike it's predecessor which saw former Belle & Sebastian chanteuse Campell and one-time Screaming Trees growler and Queens Of The Stone Age collaborator Lanegan mailing each other's contributions across the Atlantic and back again, the pair have actually been in the same room for this one."

Ah excellent, looking forward to hearing this a lot, I think the release date is now the 12th, they're playing tracks on 6music now.

cool, so it was very informal. I would have been at that QOTSA show haha.
