The Yearlings
 |
The Yearlings' music has a timeless texture combining
folk, blues and country. They delve into loss, sorrow, love and Joy,
reaching out to us through their poignant ballads and resonant personal
songs. Gently unfolding melody and story lines are given space to
breathe by the accompaniment of lilting acoustic Instruments. Live its two people (a couple) on a stage, surrounded by acoustic guitars, playing songs, harmonising, telling stories and letting you Into their world for an hour or so. The new album 'Wind Already Blown' follows up their self-titled 2003 debut album. It's like a spring breeze that blows through black and white photographs, faded dreams, dirty wings, old bones, wrecked cars and fallen stars, leaving sunlit diamonds, hope and many kinds of love. The Yearlings' songs rock, sad and slow ... like a chair on an old wooden porch. |

| What people are saying: "If The Yearlings' debut was promising, this album marks them out as something special." Bernard Zuel, Sydney Morning Herald "Another collection of heartfelt songs that is utterly charming and horribly irresistible." Tom Jellett, Weekend Australian "The intimacy, authenticity and joy... lift this album... into its own, transcendent realm. Sophie Bert, The Age "Bony guitars, tales of bloody suicide and lost friends, all Imbued with harmonies to turn your spinal fluid Into Ice water. Sparse, spectral and spectacular, this album will reduce the hardest heart to ashes." Jason Walker, Juice Magazine "Consider me a fan. Bands like this dont come along every day, but bless 'em when they do." Rip it Up Magazine "Like all the best lonesome songs, from Foster down to Tonnes Van Zandt, in the end it leaves you feeling you aren't so alone In the world after all." Noel Mangel, Dally Telegraph "This Is an extremely well thought out album, full of first-rate songs that read as well on the page as they caress the ear. It's an exercise In restraint and nuance that still excites. Most Importantly, It's got soul." Joe Bonanno, 3CR Radio, Melbourne |
