As she researched Sickert’s work, she became more and more disturbed by his live subjects’ “dead?? appearance and his other paintings of actual murder scenes. “Some of these sitters look dead.

But these can’t save “Down In Albion” from its share of duds. “Back From The Dead?? is so boring that it feels as though it never lived in the first place. Kate Moss’ cutesy cameo on “La Belle et la Bête” starts the album off on a shaky, self-indulgent note. And both the slack...
