Release Notes:
With the understated power of a gentle giant, James Yorkston
returns with his 4th studio album. When the Haar Rolls In is
out on the 1st of September and proves once again why he is
one of the most essential songwriters of our time.
Returning with his trusty Athletes, along with some legendary
English folk names - Norma Waterson, Mike Waterson, Marry
Gilhooly, Olly Knight, there is much to mine for Yorkston fans
of old and new, all the ambition, beauty and pathos of his
previous albums is sweeping through with the soothing, lush
arrangements of all sorts: the timpani, clarinets, violins,
vibraphone, concertinas, bull bass, prepared pianos,
mandolins, bouzoukis, banjos and wine glasses.
"What is' Haar?" you may ask. It's the sea fog that rolls in
off the North Sea. Mist. It's pretty common up in the East
Neuk of Fife and plays havoc with drying the washing,
apparently. There are more celebrations of human frailty and
tales of waking up drunk in unfamiliar surroundings, throwing
rocks at magpies, dogs chasing ghosts, stubborn sea winds,
regrets and joys and smiles and peace and quiet and love and
hate and more love. Better than that though, it's a beautiful,
honest album.
