May 5th sees the return of ISOBEL CAMPBELL & MARK LANEGAN with their sublime second album, Sunday at Devil Dirt, on V2/Cooperative Music. Sunday at Devil Dirt is the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Ballad of the Broken Seas which received a mercury nomination in 2006. Recorded between studios in the Catskills mountains and Isobel's native Glasgow, Sunday At Devil Dirt is an album of dust-bitten ballads and troubled wanderings, easily the equal of its predecessor. While continuing to mine the same rich seam of alt-country, folk and blues of their debut, the new record also embraces a dusty southern gothic, while a sultry, jazzy feel is evident on a number of tracks. As with their debut, the album has been written, produced and arranged by Isobel Campbell, with Lanegan providing lead vocal duties.
BE YOUR OWN PET return to the UK after two years away with their second album Get Awkward on March 17th.
