2LP – Black Vinyl Reissue housed in a Gatefold Sleeve with printed inner sleeves and digital download card.
The Year of the Leopard (2006), was produced by Rustin Man. Drowned in Sound said, “Yorkston’s voice is red-wine warm and perfectly at ease with itself, filling each track to the brim with understated honesty”, while Alexis Petridis, writing in The Guardian, said, “this is music that slowly charms rather than immediately stuns you, taking time to work its way under your skin. Once there, however, its lovely, understated melodies, autumnal arrangements and warm, wry lyrics…are virtually impossible to shift.”
