IN THE NEWS:
Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan wrapped up their 14-date U.S. tour in front of a rapt audience at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles Friday night (10/29). Backed by a six-piece band on a stage bathed in violet, the duo performed for nearly two hours, drawing material from all three of their collaborations.
Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, who have been collaborating for more than seven years, will begin their first-ever North American tour on Oct. 13 in Boston.
Considering Isobel Campbell's relative anonymity in the reserved Scottish indie-pop group Belle & Sebastian (which declined to pose for press photos for the first few years of existence), each project she's undertaken since leaving the band has gotten a surprising--but deserved--amount of attention.
Fans might freak when they hear Isobel Campbell's latest offering. It's not that it's bad--it's not--it's just so different than anything she's done either as a solo artist or in her former life with Belle & Sebastian.
