James Yorkston and The Athletes

Just Beyond The River (LP)

Just Beyond The River is the second studio album by James Yorkston and the Athletes. It was released in October 2004. The album was produced by Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet). Pete Paphides wrote in The Times “Yorkston has reached a state of grace that writers can spend forever trying to attain: songs that sound not so much written as carefully retrieved from your own subconscious, played with an intuition bordering on telepathy. What more could you ask for?” while Pitchfork said, “Yorkston’s record creates a bucolic, timeless world where magic remains a recent memory.”
