Songs for Nina and Johanna is the beautiful new album from James Yorkston, this time featuring not one but two of Swedens most recognisable female vocalists. Recorded in Stockholm with Nina Persson (The Cardigans), Johanna Sderberg (First Aid Kit) and members of The Second Hand Orchestra, these are songs about family, love and parenthood. Tender and heart-breaking yet overwhelmingly life-affirming, Songs for Nina and Johanna is a vital addition to the James Yorkston catalogue.

This is Yorkstons sixteenth album on Domino and his third to be recorded in Stockholm in conjunction with members of The Second Hand Orchestra. Nina, who teamed up with James on his previous critically-acclaimed album, The Great White Sea Eagle, this time divides singing duties with Johanna, the two of them singing separately with James on five and four tracks respectively.
