The Tourist nods to Alec Ounsworth’s musical heroes - a group that includes artists such as John Cale, Robert Wyatt, Tom Waits and Nick Cave. However, the fifth CYHSY album also shows a natural progression from previous records. “Better Off” and “The Vanity Of Trying” are lush, keyboard-augmented songs, while “A Chance To Cure” and “Ambulance Chaser” are rhythmically askew, and the sighing “Loose Ends” is delicate, acoustic-based folk-rock. Available on limited edition white vinyl. Look for them on tour.
