What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Brian feeling happy.

Folkie Scot JAMES YORKSTON serves us well on his new elpee & ceedee "Year of the Leopard". Domino seem to have nurtured him till he's just flowing very nicely thankyou very much. This is sweet natured gentle folk played with passion & warmth, very classic sounding, the loose collective he employs as backing band flesh out his mellow traditional inspired  hymns incredibly adeptly. There's a lovely diversion in the Arab Strap-for-nice-people experiment 'Woozy with Cider', a spoken word rant over mellow orbital style electronics. Nice one for the slippers & earth brigade. Love the artwork too. We have a very limited amount of the 10" double pack vinyl & CD with a free 6 track bonus disc of purely acoustic versions. Be quick though.

About the humble 10":

The 10" sits somewhere in between the 7" and 10" (kind of like a wierd cousin). This awkward variant exists for no other reason aside from to be different from it's other family members. It can provide less music than a 12" but more than a 7". It's almost like a budget 12" or a posh 7". Either way it's wierd and it needs sorting out. Maybe it's quirkyness has helped it carry on defying all rules and convention? Importantly though it plays at a multitude of speeds so it is still quintessentially a total bargain (albeit a total freak of a bargain).
