"HIGHWAY DANCING" NOW AVAILABLE
Welcome to the new The Yearlings website, celebrating the launch their new album "Highway Dancing".
With the release of their third full-length recording including eleven new songs, well known South Australian duo The Yearlings (Robyn Chalklen and Chris Parkinson) have created an album of outstanding beauty. It breathes.
Highway Dancing is a departure from The Yearlings' stripped back, acoustic approach to recording. Using their weaving guitars and seductive harmonies as a base, this album has the backing of a band – giving full favour to The Yearlings' music.
Robyn's voice demands attention - smooth, breathy and fragile, you listen to each syllable pass you by as you lean in, turn it up and immerse yourself in a story told by a fine songwriter devoid of pretence. Her beautiful, ethereal and mysterious songs are the perfect counterpoint to Chris's earthy compositions, while his "hang-on-every-note" guitar playing remains as compelling as ever.
Highway Dancing is a triumph and superb achievement for The Yearlings, their strongest work to date tastefully supported by world-class musicians.
This is one cool record.
