Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Ballad Of The Broken Seas (180 Gram Vinyl)
LP
Following her acclaimed 2024 solo album, Bow to Love, Isobel Campbell announces the reissue of Ballad of the Broken Seas, the debut album by Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan.
Commenting on the reissue, Isobel Campbell says: "I have such fond and special memories of writing and producing this album. Ballad of the Broken Seas is so very dear to my heart and Mark is very much missed."
Originally released in 2006, Ballad of the Broken Seas has remained a touchstone for fans of folk and Americana, revered for its haunting melodies, rich storytelling, and the captivating interplay between Campbell's ethereal vocals and Lanegan's gravelly baritone. The album was the first in a celebrated trilogy of albums that Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan recorded together, being followed by Sunday at Devil Dirt in 2008 and Hawk in 2010.
The album garnered widespread acclaim, with the duo being hailed as a modern day Nancy & Lee, and went on to be shortlisted 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 powerfully today as it did upon its initial release.
