James Yorkston: When the Haar Rolls In

Pete Paphides

The indifferent world scarcely deserves a fourth consecutive stunner from the hush-voiced Fife troubadour and longtime Fence Collective member; but then the last thing Yorkston’s careworn fireside intimacies deserve is indifference. What better time to call it quits?

Amid sleepy fiddles and brooding harmoniums, these bleary love-drunk dispatches – especially the startling spectre-rattle of Midnight Feast and the swelling autumn mist of The Capture of the Horse – rank among the most breathtaking by anyone this year.
