The Hanging Stars’ new single, All Your Yesterdays, is a perfect example of the band’s gorgeous, timeless sound and songcraft. Bursting with harmonies, lush twelve-string guitar and bright sun-shining jangle, All Your Yesterdays positively shimmers with cosmic melody and instrumentation. The song’s dreamy feel is reinforced by the blurred motion and overlapping images of the band playing in the video, directed by Spencer Kelly.
The bittersweet quality at the heart of All Your Yesterdays relates to the tension between living in the moment and deferring your future dreams. Frontman Richard Olson reflects on the song’s philosophical theme: “I often think about the now. The now we always take for granted. The now that just passed and became history just seconds ago.”
This is the latest single from the forthcoming Just a Day, the band’s sixth album, which is due for release on 19th June 2026 via Loose Music. It’s the third album The Hanging Stars have recorded at Edwyn Collins’ Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands, a place the band describe as, “…a sort of mixture between Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and the BBC’s Repair Shop.” Gerard Love (Teenage Fanclub) co-produced the album with Dexys’ Sean Read, and he joined the band for recording sessions in the studio, contributing vocals and arrangements and helping The Hanging Stars to refine their sound. After another highly successful collaboration, the band says, “We all made it sparkle together.” And sparkle it does.
