All The Wandering is the kind of album that fires melancholic shots straight to your heart.

Robyn Chalklen and Chris Parkinson are the core of The Yearlings and this, their fifth album, finds them at the top of their game.

All The Wandering is the kind of album that fires melancholic shots straight to your heart.

With weeping pedal steel courtesy Lost Ragas’ Shane Reilly alongside a raft of other great musicians, they create absorbing songs. From glacial late night shuffles to the tear-stained vocal harmonies riding Plain Old Ring’s soulful groove, this is Americana at its finest, rich and soulful with just the right amount of lonely heartache.
