Q MagazineFeb 19, 2019Simultaneously earthy and ethereal, pieced together in the loft of his house in the village of Cellardyke and left to fly free. [Apr 2019, p.118]
-
Mar 8, 2019This is music to get lost in, for headphones, and for your head. Yorkston’s talents as a writer drive these songs (he has also released a memoir and a novel in recent years). Phrases leap out, some delicate, some devastating.
-
MojoFeb 19, 2019Delicate, inventive and deeply, deeply touching. [Mar 2019, p.95]
-
Feb 25, 2019Yorkston's devotion to regionalism and his own self-mythology remains a central aspect of his presentation, and with this album, he offers another mesmerizing glimpse into that strange but increasingly familiar world.
-
Mar 6, 2019The Route To The Harmonium feels like a return to the warmth of some of his earlier outings--not that he’s exactly satisfied--with a more mature Yorkston having crafted perhaps the album of his career.
-
Feb 19, 2019It's surprising how solitary The Route to the Harmonium comes off--save for a few busy, spoken word tracks that seem to stick out like a sore thumb. But The Route to the Harmonium seems to be James Yorkston's attempt to precisely stick out amongst the crowded field of folksy singer songwriters, and he wears it (on his sleeve) very well.
-
Feb 22, 2019No doubt, The Route to the Harmonium is an impressive artistic statement. Too often, and especially when compared with Yorkston's previous work, it is something less than enjoyable.
