ALBUM REVIEW: Skinny Lister – Songs From The Yonder

Xtra Mile Recordings

Released: 09.05.25

It’s rare these days to find a record that actually feels hopeful, but Songs From The Yonder is just that, packed with songs of love, optimism and resilience. It’s cut from familiar cloth though, opening with the rousing Yorkshire Belle in Skinny Lister’s familiar and well-honed shanty punk sound. Both Tumbling Into Something and Everything are the more subdued moments on the record, but follow those same hopeful themes.

Brave The Waves, Drinking Song and Set Us Straight are the highlights on Songs From The Yonder, these driving tracks will inspire instant sing-alongs. They all have that typical Skinny Lister chant-along feel to them and will definitely enhance their already brilliant live set. This is a genuinely uplifting record!
