_________________________[ Release Notes ]________________________
Icelandic producer Yagya had released his fifth album,
Sleepygirls, across three slabs of vinyl and one mixed CDm on
Dutch label Delsin. It's a deep, spacious and dubbed out affair
that stays locked at a pleasingly sedentary tempo throughout.
Since 2002 the definitive member of the Thule Musik collective
has been crafting lush electronic albums under his Yagya alias
and always manages to find pure bliss and beauty and his simple,
nature inspired soundscapes. He deals exclusively in full lengths
and to date they have come on labels like Sending Orbs, Force Inc.
and Subwax Bcn.
"I wanted to create an album that's atmospheric, repetitive, and
easy to listen to over and over again," says the man himself.
"Something that works well in the background (e.g. when
concentrating on work), as well as up close in a big sound system.
I also wanted to learn how to make my music sound better than
before, since I'm a huge sound-nerd, so that was a part of the
goal for me personally."
The album is a fine fusion of tropes from Yagya's earlier albums,
features jazz instrumentalists that improvise beautiful melodies
over monotonic, almost drone-like, techno beats and also uses live
recordings of Japanese vocals, saxophone and guitar to counter
the repetitiveness of the rhythms.
Right from the rolling bliss of the opener, you're suspended in a
womb like pillow of sound that is soft, warm and serenely
beautiful. As tracks roll on, the pace stays the same but themes
vary from upright and summery to more elongated and insular.
This is natural, organic dub that is a delight and a pleasure to
listen to.
The vinyl versions of each track have been specially mixed with
random LFOs, sonic quirks and unique fingerprints making them the
subtly different to the CD version, but overall this is a brain
soothing and mind melting album that can soundtrack lazy days,
long summer afternoons and warm winter evenings in equal style.
