'Nick Cave meets the desert....moody and sombre...I'm sure The Coral have had a stab at making songs in this genre sincere, but their lack of ranch time left them for dead.' The Plastic Ashtray

Taking their cues from old blues, gospel and country records, Iain and Andy Kirkcaldy released their first record as Yellow Kid from a Penny Lane basement in 2003 (
a low-key split-7" featuring themselves and Ambrose Tompkins).

They
contributed a track called 'Lazy Song' (a collaboration with Arizona-based writer/poet Andrew Pidoux) towards the 'Extended Play' EP - a well-received track which was played by the late John Peel - and have a song on the Field Recordings EP entitled 'Far At Sea'.
