Originally released in 2006, 'Ballad of The Broken Seas' has been a must - have for folk and Americana lovers. Its haunting melodies, engaging stories, and the magical combination of Isobel Campbell's delicate vocals and Mark Lanegan's rough baritone are truly captivating. This was the first in a famous trilogy of albums by the duo, followed by 'Sunday at Devil Dirt' in 2008 and 'Hawk' in 2010. It received wide acclaim, being compared to the modern - day Nancy & Lee and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. Tracks like the brooding 'Deus Ibi Est', the sad 'The False Husband', and the touching title track still resonate strongly today. This is a 180g black vinyl pressing, a limited edition from Cooking Vinyl in 2024.
