Skinny Lister step into Spring with their chest-swelling new single, Song From The Yonder, that sees Lorna Thomas and Dan Heptinstall channelling their inner Kirsty MacColl and Shane MacGowan on the title track from their upcoming full length. Set to a score of swaying Celtic arrangements that lift and lilt the listener along their journey, the song acts as an open and earnest conversation between the couple about love, life, and longing.

“‘Song From The Yonder” is a proper conversational duet between Dan and Lorna. It’s 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. We’ve not properly explored this duelling 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.” (Dan Heptinstall)

Songs From The Yonder will be released on 9th May via Xtra Mile Recordings on vinyl, CD and digital, with five extra CD formats of the album are now available here, each CD feature bespoke artwork by John Davison (Cartoons From The Pit) in the style of an old seaside postcard as well as a different bonus acoustic track included on each of them. Coinciding with the release, the Skinnies will be hitting the road for a run of instores and shows throughout release week with further touring of the UK and Europe to come later in the year as well as Summer festival appearances.
