chased these guys around youtube til late last night. some decent samples of their work out there. they've re-done three or four yorkston originals as well as a couple of ivor cutler covers.james yorkston/jon thorne/suhail yusuf khan - everything sacred
supposedly a 'trio' record but the emphasis seems to be on yorkston's songs (not a bad thing at all), albeit with longer musical/improv passages. thorne's bass and khan's sarangi and voice are constants, but on first listen it feels more like j.y. + guests than a proper group. major negative is the pollution by the execrable vocals of ireland's own lisa o'neill whose voice manages to embody the worst elements of both dolores keane and dolores o'riordan.
actually, the more it goes on, i'm getting more of a group feel. there's a thorne-sung tune and plenty of khan vocals.
will buy.
She supported Bonnie Prince Billy here a while ago and my wife and I kept waiting for the punchline, her performance turned out not to be a joke. I can listen to some rough sounding voices, completely atonal caterwauling and sheets of noise but her voice cut through me like a knife.major negative is the pollution by the execrable vocals of ireland's own lisa o'neill whose voice manages to embody the worst elements of both dolores keane and dolores o'riordan.
yeah, i was there. it was horrendous. couldn't decide if i found the lyrics ("england's got my maaaan...") or the voice (an amalgam of trapped animal and spoilt-toddler-doing-the-forced-cry) more offensive.She supported Bonnie Prince Billy here a while ago and my wife and I kept waiting for the punchline, her performance turned out not to be a joke.

Not necessarily for the better...Makes a new change from the cookie cutter guitar tippers
Oh god, I forgot about the lyrics. Everything seemed to rhyme like a nursery rhyme: old, bold, told, hold, cold...yeah, i was there. it was horrendous. couldn't decide if i found the lyrics ("england's got my maaaan...") or the voice (an amalgam of trapped animal and spoilt-toddler-doing-the-forced-cry) more offensive.
