Out now: 'Songs from the Yonder' by Skinny Lister

Skinny Lister have released Songs from the Yonder, the English folk-punk quintet’s seventh studio album. Stream/purchase HERE.

Reflecting on the new single and title track, frontman Dan Heptinstall says it is "a proper conversational duet, a song about longing and returning from distant travels to where the heart is”...“It’s also a song about looking beyond petty disagreements, putting things in perspective and embracing the things that connect us.” 

He adds, “We’ve not properly explored this dueling vocal approach since ‘George’s Glass’ from our album ‘Down On Deptford Broadway’, and it was a lot of fun to return to writing and recording a track with this kind of dynamic. It’s also a good companion to a track like ‘Six Whiskies’, with its ‘end of the night’ ‘drunken waltz’ feel.” Watch the music video for “Song from the Yonder” HERE.

Produced and mixed by Heptinstall, the album's core tracks were recorded live — and left unedited — in an attempt to capture the band’s live show energy, the album is available on colored vinyl, CD and digital. Five extra CD formats of the album can be purchased on the band’s official site, each featuring bespoke artwork in the style of an old seaside postcard illustrated by John Davison (Cartoons From The Pit) with a different bonus/acoustic track included on each. Fans can buy individually or as a set — a charming and collectable Skinny Lister keepsake. Purchase HERE.
