Release Notes:
"The guy who mastered my album usually works on
death metal records. He said it sounds 'satanic'! I
was quite flattered..." You're not going to believe
the source for that one, kids. Well, yes, a press
release (duh), but the quote came from none other
than ex-Belle & Sebastian member Isobel Campbell.
The chanteuse has remained true to her word to put
out two albums in 2006, and has announced the
release of Milkwhite Sheets, due November 6 via V2
in the U.S.
Unlike album #1, the Mercury Prize short-listed,
Mark Lanegan-co-credited Ballad of the Broken Seas,
Campbell sings by herself on Sheets. In fact, one
track, titled "Loving Hannah", features her voice
over no instrumental accompaniment at all. Ooh,
gutsy.
The album, recorded in tandem with and shortly
after Ballad, was inspired by a variety of folk
artists (Shirley Collins, Anne Briggs, Jean
Ritchie) and features several Campbell-reworkings
of traditional songs.
