For the uninitiated, the Scottish folk musician, James Yorkston, writes gentle, tender melodies that soar and swoop in equal measure. Here, he is accompanied by two of Sweden’s most recognisable female vocalists - Nina Persson (The Cardigans), who teamed up with James on his previous critically-acclaimed album, ‘The Great White Sea Eagle’, and Johanna Söderberg (First Aid Kit) - the two of them dividing singing duties on separate tracks across this beautiful album. 

Tender and heart-breaking, yet overwhelmingly life-affirming, ‘Songs for Nina and Johanna’ is another classy outing from a trusted voice and our exclusive Dinked Edition contains a bonus CD featuring four alternate reimaginations of tracks by The Second Hand Orchestra, bringing this story of collaboration and creativity full circle.
