It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land...

SOULSAVERS

"It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land"

Red Ink Recordings

2008

"There's gonna be a revival tonight," intones Mark Lanegan, accompanied by members of the London Community Gospel Choir, to open the second Soulsavers album from British producers Rich Machin and Ian Glover. Enveloped by a lush organ and dusty, looped beat, Lanegan sounds, if not reborn, then hopeful, which is a fresh look for the grunge-scarred meth-blues crooner. Machin and Glover see themselves as a posttrip- hop, Southern Gothic version of Portishead, with Lanegan as the weary diva, singing on eight of these ten atmospheric tracks. Frustratingly, the duo's cinematic visions simmer more than they soar, though a reimagining of the Rolling Stones' "No Expectations" as a stately Leonard Cohen–esque benediction is stunning.

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.
