Strenuous Detour, by Yakka Doon

Strenuous Detour

by Yakka Doon

supported by

Mark J Wray One of my favourite records of recent years, just song after song of stunningly beautiful modern folk music. Favorite track: Golden Plover.

Lee Fisher the whole album is beautiful but something about Demolish The House ruins my makeup every damn time. Favorite track: Demolish the House.

We'll fix it before you're old enough to know We'll work on it every day while you grow Hush be still be calm We'll dry your tears Until they're no longer needed We'll teach you to learn so every day is new To follow your heart the whole day through Hush be still be calm We'll dry your tears Until they're no longer needed We'll help you to see the beauty in it all We'll show you how to rise when you fall Hush be still be calm We'll dry your tears Until they're no longer needed We'll rock you to sleep where you'll think of how it should be The peaceful world where everyone is free Hush be still be calm We'll dry your tears Until they're no longer needed

Yakka Doon Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

Former drug dealer seeks redemption through folk music.

Oak-aged heartcraft from the pitscarred heathland of County Durham. Starkfelt sketchings of lifespaces through flat vowels and strictly necessary guitar-bedding.
