Hi folks, our previous release was made of a sample that was given in
advance, but obviously not in the same quality and with a difference on
the first track. The first track has an intro that is fully to hear on
that retail release with a tracktime of 5.34 instead 4.08. All other
tracks are in a more brilliant quality which is indicated by the size of
each file. Enjoy that outstanding guy from hungaria!
Yonderboi - Splendid Isolation (Mole)
The crow is a symbol for wisdom and prophecies. Because crows eat cadaver,
they sometimes also symbolize the malice and all the bad things in
themselves. They wait for death of the hanged to then peck pieces of meat
from their body. A hopeless image. Exactly here Yonderboi┤s new work
begins. A sad children's choir stands on an empty field under deep
pitch-black hanging rain clouds ready between a murder of crows on the way
to hell. This is the first sombre dreadful picture which 24-year-old
artist Lßszl≤ Fogarasi produces at the beginning of his album which is
immediately a small resignation from his own musical past. The Film Noire
has retired. The second album rises more and more into something
absolutely unexpected..... Having exchanged the forests of Somogy county
for the Budapest, his new record "Splendid Isolation" is more mature and
more urban than the amazing first album "Shallow and Profound". While his
first album was made intuitively and 'just happened', a great deal of
thought has gone into his second record. It is especially influenced by an
unexpected source: the art-house films Yonderboi has been watching the
last couple of years. Like a good movie, "Splendid Isolation" tells a
many-layered story that builds up to a trippy ending. Structure, build up
and portions of suspense have been considered consciously. And, as in a
film, the secret is not revealed until the very end. A crucial influence
is also Dutch musician Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL). The two artists met in
2003 in Amsterdam, where Tom offered to help Lßszl≤ to 'create the record
that Yonderboi wanted to make.' In two summer sessions in Los Angeles, Tom
lent his experience and technical expertise to help give shape to Lßszl≤'s
creative ideas. "Splendid Isolation" is the result. Yonderboi's Hungarian
background greatly affects his music. Travelling Europe and the US has
made this even more apparent. He finds western people more relaxed, less
in need of asking big questions and more straightforward in their approach
to life. In Eastern Europe life is never clear cut. The contrast between
the cold winters and hot summers typical of the region is reflected in the
conflicting emotions of the people. Life is bitter sweet, joy is
accompanied by tears. These contradictions are reflected in his music,
which is eclectic, rich and difficult to pigeonhole. Splendid Isolation -
The Ceremony of the Companion (personal notes from Yonderboi): How about
you? The one of your own? (yes, that's here, too), are you ok with it or
do you condemn it? Do you think it is needed to achieve anything or it's
just something that's there, all the same? Is there a specific state or a
condition that you are seeking? Are you really on the look for something
or you simply can't stop searching? No one has ever come up with the one
"meaning" and the best way, be it inside or outside, with or without.
Prepare to spring off, and be the winner of this realtime fall.
