Ballad of the Broken Seas by Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan: Indie Pop/Alt-Folk. Though this is strictly Campbell’s album Lanegan steals the show. Her voice is often pushed to the background by his Tom Waits style singing, that adds depth to songs that, you get the feeling wouldn’t have any. The songs have a folky/sea shanty feel about them and contain some extremely dark lyrics. The album just moves along nicely. That’s it. TWH: Ramblin’ Man; Honey Child What Can I Do?; The Circus Is Leaving Town
