James Yorkston Expounds On The Great White Sea Eagle With The Yorkshire Post

“James Yorkston has a wry take on how The Great White Sea Eagle, his collaboration with Nina Persson, erstwhile frontwoman of Swedish band The Cardigans, came about,” writes The Yorkshire Post. According to the Post, Yorkston’s story is that “we were in a terrible situation where the record company had suddenly realised that I couldn’t sing,… After all these years they thought ‘why don’t we get in someone who can sing and see if it makes any difference?’” This isn’t, of course, the real story behind the duo’s new set with the Second Hand Orchestra, but it is a fun introduction to a lively interview with Yorkston about the making of the record.
