I can only agree with the earlier reviewer, the pairing of Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan is a match made in heaven. Some unkindly dismiss Belle as the 'princess of twee' but not here, that's for certain. There's a strong sense of rhythm dominating much of the music, and wonderful arrangements; False Husband has a terrific Morricone 'spagetti western' sound, a lone guitar with reverb disappearing into some deep well, and then those sonorous tubular bells.

There's a good range of material, nearly all composed by Isobel, who also produces as well as singing and playing quite a variety of instruments. While the singing voice of the album is Lanegan's, it's definitely her project, and one that has real substance.

Jim McCulloch's latest GPs' release will surely consign his Soup Dragons 'previous' to the dustbin for ever.

This is a beautiful album, awash with woozy harmonies, sun-kissed jangle-rock melodies and gentle, string-laden melancholia; Isobel Campbell adds her spooky/lovely vocals to seal the deal.

Sugary without being twee, informed without being derivative, check out Hard To Kill A Bad Thing for the ultimate Sunday morning soother...
