This page contains a brief overview on the album YEARLINGS: Utrecht. Learn more about the artist and explore the track lists and website. If you find any information that needs to be corrected, please let us know.

 
Formed in the fertile pop-climate of Utrecht (the Netherlands), The Yearlings make catchy pop-songs with a twang. Inspired by the American Alt. Country scene (Uncle Tupelo, Jayhawks, Slobberbone) this six-piece tries to show that, within the boundaries of crafted songwriting, rock and country cliches are far from worn-out.
Almost 2 years after the release of their surprising debut cd, The Yearlings return with an impressive effort; these 12 songs and 2 musical snapshots make out one of the best roots-pop cd's you are likely to hear this year. Distinct harmonies, tinging guitars, a wailing pedal steel guitar (Rene Van Barneveld of Urban Dance Squad) are augmented by fiddle, piano and accordion. The result is the remarkably identifiable and majestic sound of The Yearlings.
