Mark Lanegan - "Prayer Ground"

Low, Americana, slow guitarish song.

Via 8track, first hit when searching for "george orwell"

Mark Lanegan - "Houston: Publishing Demos 2002" (2015) and "A Thousand Miles of Midnight - Phantom Radio Remixes" (2015)

• from the demo's: Blind
• from the remixes: The Killing Season (UNKLE remix)

Gemma Ray - "The Wheel" (2014)

Voice-wise a duet quite similar to Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell. Hints of swamp.

It is a weird mix of styles. From almost poppy to slightly electronic to the symphonic "Rubbing Out Your Name".

"Runaway", an older song, sounds quite promising with a ominous base guitar and surf guitar, then suddenly turns all poppy during the chorus. A shame.

Mark Lanegan - "Autumn Leaves"

He has a good voice for this song, but it is a bit too stringy filmish. Should be a bit more introvert, in my opinion.

Mark Lanegan - "Imitations"

Covers by the silk 'n silly voice (silly := good, remember that, peoples)

• You Only Live Twice - strange, because it is so recognizable yet has lost a bit of the shazzle of typical James Bond songs (the girly voice, the strings). Interesting. In a good way, not British, sorry Ian.
• Pretty Colors - who did the original? Nice. (Oh, mr Sinatra ey...ugh! it - the original - has horrible backing vocals)
• Autumn Leaves - oh... no no no no! I love this song! Remember the Coldcut version?! Mark, oh Mark, why did you have to make it into some silly waltz??

Mark Lanegan - "One Way Street"

To drive eternally.

Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell - "Who Built The Road"

Just the same style as their other songs: wonderful.

Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell - "Bombed"

soft, sad, musical

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - "Hawk"

New album. As slow as one, familiar with their older work, would expect.

• "Come Undone" : violins, dusky
• "Get Behind Me" : swinging
• "Hawk" : uptempo, no singing
• "Sunrise" : slow, estranged

Not bad, but not particularly good either.
