Eight-years on from "Enjoy Eternal Bliss" Brighton based quintet yndi halda are
now preparing torelease their new album, "Under Summer". Having toured across
the UK, Europe, USA and Asia, including shows at London"s famed Barbican Hall,
Koko and Union Chapel venues, and entirely selling out a short residency at
Hoxton Hall; yndi halda"s fervent and nominally patient fan base have been
eagerly awaiting this new material. For those who were previously enthralled by
the bands revered string-heavy and densely layered flavour of instrumental rock,
there are seemingly endless new aural delectations to unearth and embrace in the
bands intense second effort.
Their music is at once subtle and joyous, hitting huge emotional peaks around
moments of serene gentleness and heart-breaking sadness in its orchestration of
sonorous guitar interlacing, meticulously crafted string arrangements and - now
- soaring vocal harmonies.
Tracks such as "This Very Flight" perfectly exemplify how dextrous and
explorative the band have become, with the first half of the song revisiting the
already cherished sounds of "Enjoy Eternal Bliss", whilst the second half
presents the "new yndi halda", sonically more mature yet still unafraid to
experiment with new emotions and sounds. Other tracks on the album such as
"Golden Threads From The Sun" solidify this new temperament making prominent use
of vocals, and a lighter timbre than before. The sonic boundaries of "Under
Summer" are only limited by the bands collective imagination, and which
sentiments they allow to permeate that individual creative talent. There may
have been eight years of musical silence between the two albums, but this has
allowed the band members individual life and subsequent cultural experiences to
redefine the way the band can collectively compose and express themselves.
Speaking about writing the new album, James Vella (guitar, vocals) said 'We
called the album "Under Summer". It is two references. For us at least.
Inevitably it will mean something different to everyone who hears the album. But
for us it is the very upper limit of the sky under which we wrote and recorded
the album. The endless July days that we played into, a perfect calm and joy.
But it"s also a sadness. "Under" as in "beneath"; sorrow and heartache. We found
that important because we want to express that in our music too. Sadness and
bliss. What one means to the other.'
"Under Summer" is captivatingly personal, with both beauty and disconsolate
longing entwined throughout every profoundly textured movement. This is
something that means far more to yndi halda than written words in a press
release, but something that is present and perceptible in the album.
