kingofthechickens More awesome from these folks. caught 2 of the full band shows and they were excellent too. Flippin' good noises made by people who clearly love what they do. Wrap yer lugholes around it and enjoy.

hag There's such a special, untimely presence to James's music, a kind of honesty that floors me. Tugs the heart strings in a beautiful, life affiming way. Favorite track: A Forestful Of Rogues.

Neil Harrison Sam and Jeanie McGreagor is such a thing of beauty. vocally, lyrically , musically ... perfect. ends and leaves me wanting more - which this album supplies in copious amounts. little pieces of imperfect perfection. Favorite track: Sam and Jeanie McGreagor.

Ursula's Crow I love Nina for her contribution to Sparklehorse's 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Here, her voice blends soothingly with James Yorkston's vocals.

about

Yorkston and Sweden’s The Second Hand Orchestra had no real plans to do a follow up, but as James visited his studio in Cellardyke, Fife everyday in early 2021, he began to start writing songs on the piano as opposed to his usual guitar as he gazed upon the sea outside his window.

After sending the first five or six songs to Karl-Jonas Winqvist (the leader/conductor of TSHO), they began to discuss working on the music together. With Yorkston’s shift from guitar to piano, they thought about what other changes they could make to their process which led to the involvement of a guest singer and the legendary Nina Persson (The Cardigans) was brought into the fold.

My favorite artists are ones who aren't afraid to try something completely different. I hear Charles Stepney, David Axelrod's Earth Rot, Steve Reich, Penguin Cafe Orchestra and others in this, but it's undeniably Sault in the end. As usual, probably my favorite album of the year. mackro
