Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan
"HAWK"
V2/Vanguard
2010
Two more complementary sets of pipes have rarely been paired—and while that’s been the intention all along, the duo’s third full-length, Hawk, still banks on that delicious friction, and does it well. Campbell’s pixie-like chirp and Lanegan’s slow-burn growl entwine to do particular justice to Townes Van Zandt’s “Snake Song,” one of two covers of the late Texas country-folk legend. Throughout the song’s pulsing, loping blues, the duo’s voices don’t harmonize so much as curl around each other like perfume and pipe smoke. Great Album.
