[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................
Having developed a passion for electronic music from an early
age, Joost van der Vleuten aka Namatjira has now firmly etched
his place in the history of progressive house. With well over a
decade of production credits, the Dutch artist has earned the
praise of world class DJs such as Sasha and John Digweed, while
showcasing his music on renowned record labels, most notably
Nick Warren's Hope Recordings, Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music,
Anjunadeep and Armada. Joost's unique take on melodic house has
also seen him remix some of electronic music's biggest stars in
Armin Van Buuren and Guy J. Now furthering what has already been
a storied career, Namatjira presents his second studio album
'Moons of Yesterday' via Paul Hazendonk's long standing Manual
Music.
Spread across thirteen tracks and 80 magical minutes, Namatjira
explores a broad spectrum of club sensibilities on 'Moons of
Yesterday', beginning with the hypnotic leanings of
'Kattenkwaad'. Astral overtones dominate the narrative here,
creating a tense, mood setting prelude to one of the album's
showcase pieces 'I'll Kill You'. Initially released as the
first teaser to the LP, Jennifer Horne's haunting vocals are
compelling in every sense of the word, evoking a wide spectrum
of emotion, while Namatjira's sturdy groove translates that
message to the dance floor. Equally brilliant are the creamy
arps and poignant tones of 'Capricciosa'. Unveiled as the second
teaser to the album in April, it's airy quality and meditative
arrangement draws the listener in, before effortlessly elevating
towards a dreamy finale.
Furthering Namatjira's precise craftsmanship are the deliberate
beats and otherworldly textures of 'Bradycardie'. Buzzing bass
swells create sizable momentum while a sparse framework houses a
superb blend of fragmented melodies and unique sonic artefacts.
Tempo and energy continue to rise with 'Aguamar' and
'Solenodon'. The former, a classically styled progressive
groover complete with a robust foundation, fresh rhythmic themes
and a maze of bubbly arps. While 'Solenodon' presents a more
mystical sensibility through exotic drums and cross-cultural
instrumentation. The journey's halfway point is marked by an
interlude of sorts with 'Sounds of Sunday Morning'. As the
album's lone electronica creation, it sits as a tranquil
centrepiece, with its introspective beginnings and impassioned
second act creating an emotive storyboard.
Beginning the LP's second wave are the tough, mid tempo beats of
'Kununurra'. Subtle shades and fragmented tones coverage as the
narrative evolves, creating a contemplative yet esoteric drawl,
perfectly setting the stage for 'Orotund'. Spacious and smooth,
it's a piece built around warm bass tones and vibrant cascades.
Driving percussion pushes momentum forward, while soft overlays
initiate a hopeful break of pixie-like melodies and fuzzed out
modulation. Colourful and heartfelt, it segues into the album's
lone collaboration with fellow Dutch artist SVTN. Having worked
together twice previously for Armada's Electronic Elements, the
duo craft something a touch more rugged in 'Amber Fluid'.
Powerful and inviting across it's nine minute running time,
rolling arps take centrestage, flowing through understated
modulation, eventually commanding your full attention as a
bulbous low end generates waves of momentum with each successive
loop. The peak time sensibilities of 'Yorba' continue to elevate
mood as the journey reaches a fiery apex. Sitting comfortably
between the surreal and emotive, it's finely tuned percussion
and astral splashes bring rhythm and texture to a brilliant
symphonic theme. Operating on a similar energetic plane are the
pulsating grooves of 'Apollyon'. With a nod to both contemporary
and nostalgic blueprints, it's ethereal design and fragmented
vocals marry wonderfully, building to a compelling canopy of
sound as a powerful drop sparks an exhilarating finale.
Furthering his storytelling prowess, Joost rounds out 'Moons of
Yesterday' with the haunting 'Naya'. A unique amalgamation of
cross-cultural wails, eerie tones and acid artefacts fuel this
deep techno gem. Cosmic in design and spiritual in delivery,
it's a fitting end to a triumphant album from Namatjira, an
artist who continues to operate at his creative peak.
