Yorkston Thorne Khan
Bio
James Yorkston, Jon Thorne, and Suhail Yusuf Khan represent a continuum of the forward-thinking, musically distinctive power trio. Each individual contributes vocals to material both original and reimagined as Khan, on sarangi, Thorne, on double bass, and Yorkston, principally on guitar, improvise within their mutual space. Perhaps the greatest strength of Yorkston/Thorne/Khan is a shared spirituality, one revealed by the honesty and conviction at the heart of this universal, beautiful music.
Reviews
“50 years ago the Incredible String Band emerged from the Scottish folk scene to create an extraordinary fusion of folk, acoustic pop and world music that was so singular, idiosyncratic and inimitable that the spirit of it’s magical, wide-eyed wonder has never since been matched. Until now perhaps, for this inspired Yorkston Thorne Khan teaming operates within a similarly eclectic and free-wheeling orbit”
“Joyous, contemplative, playful, euphoric and bleakly beautiful album”
