Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan
A duo famous for their own separate careers – Campbell as a former member of sunny twee-poppers Belle & Sebastian, and Lanegan, gravelly vocalist from American rockers Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age among others – first joined forces in 2004 with the release of their EP, ‘Time Is Just The Same’. They’ve made three albums together since, including last year’s Hawk. Dark and light, sweet and sour; their odd coupling still proves to be an irresistible combination. ■ Grand Ole Opry, Glasgow, Tue 12 Jul. 23 Jun–21 Jul 2011 THE LIST 93
