james yorkston & the athletes

[mmmender]

has anyone picked up the raymonde produced James Yorkston & The Athletes new album "Moving Up Country" yet? simon not only produced the album but he plays lap steel guitar on the track "I Spy Dogs". the album is reminiscent of Belle & Sebastian and The Smiths at times.

i've got a copy lees! what a record though..!
you know it sold more copies in Rough Trade last year than The Strokes. It was their Album Of The Year. i think James will be one of the great songwriters of the 21st century.
Great lad too. so nice and humble and a genuinely lovely man.

Any idea is this album is available state-side, or do I have to dig? Seems like I always have to dig for the good ones!
