  • Summary: Hawk is the third collaborative album between former Belle & Sebastian songbird Isobel Campbell and former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan. Like the two records before it, it draws inspiration from the sultry torch songs once performed by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. Unique to this album is a solid list of guest appearances, however, and the duo covers two Townes Van Zandt songs to boot.… Expand

  1. The A.V. Club
    83
    Two more complementary sets of pipes have rarely been paired-and while that's been the intention all along, the duo's third full-length, Hawk, still banks on that delicious friction, and does it well.
  2. Clash Music
    80
    The Gothic undertones of the previous two albums have been slightly toned down, but not that much, and this time they also manage to rock out with some more bluesy and electric tracks.
  3. Drowned In Sound
    60
    Hawk is the most energetic record yet from the pair, with several pointers towards the sound of the enduring record they may well have in them....That said, some old weaknesses remain.
