Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan | Ballad of the Broken Seas

2024 reissue of Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan's debut album, originally released in 2006. It remains a cornerstone for Folk and Americana fans, who appreciate it for its haunting melodies, rich narratives and the captivating interplay between Campbell's ethereal vocals and Lanegan's gravelly baritone.

The album was the first in an acclaimed trilogy of albums that Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan recorded together, followed by "Sunday at Devil Dirt" in 2008 and "Hawk" in 2010. The album was widely acclaimed and the duo were hailed as a modern day Nancy & Lee and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. From the brooding opener 'Deus Ibi Est' to the melancholic 'The False Husband' and the poignant title track, "Ballad Of The Broken Seas" resonates as strongly today as when it was first released.
