 Confounding genre expectations as ever, ‘The Year Of The Leopard’ saw James Yorkston write a truly beautiful album, allowing his sparse instrumentation to be produced by former Talk Talk member Paul Webb, giving the album a warm-but-not-too-cosy feel. Originally released as a double 10” but reissued on double LP in gatefold sleeve, with printed inner sleeves and digital download card.
 ‘When The Haar Rolls In’, the fourth studio album by James Yorkston, is for sure a masterful thing. It is full of all the ambition, beauty and pathos of his previous albums - and he even bought back the full, lush arrangements that popularised his early work. Originally released as a double 10” but reissued on double LP in gatefold sleeve, with printed inner sleeves and digital download card.
 ‘Just Beyond The River’ is James Yorkston and The Athletes’ second LP, following 2002’s ‘Moving Up Country’. The elasticity of these songs of love, lust and loneliness, suggests they could be traditionals that were just waiting to be found and re-rendered. An essential listen. In printed inner sleeve with digital download card.
 Domino released James Yorkston’s first album, ‘Moving Up Country’, in 2002. Printed inner sleeve and digital download card.
