Tourist - 20th Anniversary Edition

    Following the success of their Mercury-nominated debut album, ‘Vehicles & Animals’, Athlete reached new heights with ‘Tourist’, featuring the massive hit singles “Wires” and “Half Light.” The album was both a critical and commercial triumph, climbing charts around the world and earning a #1 spot on the UK album chart.

    An evocative blend of atmospheric melodies and heartfelt lyricism, ‘Tourist’ is rich in emotional depth and sonic grandeur. With its lush instrumentation, anthemic choruses, and tender moments of introspection, ‘Tourist’ captures Athlete at their most expansive and vulnerable.

    Long out of print on vinyl (and now highly collectable), this Dinked Archive Edition celebrates the album's 20th anniversary with new remastering by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering. Pressed on two 140g clear vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves and an obi strip, accompanied by an exclusive black 7” single featuring ‘Lay Your Head’ and ‘Twenty Four Hours (Joshua Wong Remix). Strictly limited to 1,000 copies.

    A deluxe 2CD edition is also available with sleeve notes plus B-sides and rarities, along with a standard 2LP black vinyl version.

    Just Beyond The River - 2023 Reissue

      One of the most long-awaited albums, for our shop anyway. Yorkston's debut was one of the surprise records of the year back in 2002 and all of us loved it. Now this one does sound, initially at least, to be less 'Pop'. Instead this feels like a proper folk album. Not 'Hey Nonny Nonny', just more serious, focussed....dense with banjos, mandolins and accordians. The production's slightly fuller thanks to Four Tet's Keiren Hebden and the songs all deal with romance, nature and (everyday) magic. There's the odd sea-shanty too and it all feels very warm, real and unconcerned with commerce or, indeed, 'normal' life. What a lovely world this record inhabits. Add him to the list of greats?

      Moving Up Country - 2023 Reissue

        Wonderful timeless folk-tinged pop from James Yorkston. He's been compared to everyone from Shane Macgowan to John Martyn, and there's definitely a bit of Nick Drake in there too. The more I listen to this album, the more I love it!
