    This 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.

    The 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.

    Yorkston'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.
