Description
“This duo have been delivering finely crafted albums since 2002, hitting a creative high with 2014’s superb All The Wanderings, the kind of album which seems to get better and better with the years.”
The Yearlings has operated as a duo until now, but after a long break from recording return with Luck, which finds them working with the great Australian songwriter Lucie Thorne as producer, recording with the superb rhythm section of drummer Hamish Stuart and James Haselwood.
If you have enjoyed the sound of Thorne’s albums you will be dazzled by these 10 tracks, the kind of music that you could imagine played at an intimate show on a farmhouse verandah, or coming from the speakers providing the company on a backroads drive to town on a Saturday night.
The Yearlings have always delivered lessons in understated songcraft, but they sound refreshed here in the company of Stuart and Haselwood. The road is still dusty, sure, but these wide horizons are something else: richly detailed songs delivered with maximum emotional effect.
