Skinny Lister are back with their seventh studio album, Songs From The Yonder, that is now available via Xtra Mile Recordings on vinyl, CD and digital formats. The album is a glorious, riotous mix of chest-thumping anthems, shanty sing-a-longs and folk punk classics, tempered by some of the most tender and reflective songs the band have penned yet.

Picking up where the acclaimed Shanty Punk album left off, Songs From The Yonder finds the band revelling in their nostalgic touchstones, while facing the future with a wide eyed sense of optimism and a warming reverence for what has been. With plenty of harks back to their folk roots and some more tender touches too, longstanding fans will be enamoured to hear that those classic Skinny themes of drinking, travelling, the sea and ploughing on in the face of adversity, are still hoisted high on the band’s flagpole throughout this latest outing. 

Teeming with themes of seafaring, travelling, drinking, family, and good times, Songs From The Yonder is the seventh release from the good ship Skinny Lister and slots seamlessly into their canon. Alongside the signed CD, digital and vinyl releases, the band also recently announced that five extra CD formats that each feature bespoke artwork in the style of an old seaside postcard illustrated by John Davison (Cartoons From The Pit) along with a different bonus acoustic track included on each of them.

Written and recorded by Skinny Lister, the record was mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Frank Arkwright. Produced and mixed by frontman Dan Heptinstall, its core tracks were recorded live, and left unedited, in an attempt to capture a ferocious live energy. They will release some of that live energy at an array of intimate UK venues with launch shows this week and Summer festival appearances over the coming months.
