    yndi halda Under Summer LP/cd

    In some respects, yndi halda only looks like a real band from the outside- releasing a record, touring, playing festivals. Internally, the band exists
    more like hobbyists five young men who starting writing music together
    at school, and who are given occasion to share that music here and there.
    Of course, yndi halda loves releasing records and touring, and pours a
    great, great deal of themselves into their music, but its not a fully accurate
    picture of the five of them. The band doesnt play music full-time. And
    for a very long period, the members didnt live in the same city, meeting
    only occasionally to play shows. Sometimes they were barely able to see
    each other for months. But now, four (of five) of the band members live
    in Brighton, and thus have been able to release a new album - Under
    Summer - after a few years away.
    yndi halda has been working on this new album since their debut - they
    even began playing one of the new album tracks when they toured Asia
    and the United States in 2007 but didnt create the final recorded
    versions everyone agreed upon until much more recently. This was
    partially because of the expanded sound palette. Introducing vocals was a
    change for the band and something they wanted to get right. Likewise, the
    fuller, more expansive arrangements and larger-scale composition. And of
    course the production. The original bass player Daniel Lovegrove
    recorded the debut LP Enjoy Eternal Bliss in a friends barn on a mobile
    setup in a few days. Under Summer took yndi halda, over some months, to
    three different studios with three high-grade producers and even
    incorporated some home recording. yndi spent a great deal of time and
    energy recording the album during the periods that they could, during the
    times that everyone could afford away from our own lives and
    responsibilities, numerous and demanding. And yndi halda is incredibly
    excited to start this next step. To share with people that music that has
    lived with them for years, that has been argued over and sweated for,
    recorded and un-recorded and re-recorded, abandoned, and then rescued.
    yndi halda called the album Under Summer. It is two references, for them
    at least inevitably it will mean something different to everyone who
    hears the album. But for the band, it is the very upper limit of the sky
    under which they wrote and recorded the album. The endless July days
    that they played into, a perfect calm, and joy. But its also a sadness.
    Under as in beneath; sorrow and heartache. yndi finds this important
    because they want to express that in their music too sadness and bliss;
    what one means to the other.
    That sentiment was a driving force. Not only in the composition, but in
    recording and finishing the album. The musical silence between the records
    was characterized by (and makes up part of) that sadness and bliss too. yndi
    halda also listened to lots of music -- far too many bands and records to name
    and watched endless films and read endless books, wrote endless academic
    papers through their respective universities, wrote solo albums, published
    fiction, underwent great personal changes, and moved cities and countries.
    They lost a bass player (Brendan was offered the Sam Smith touring band gig
    and he took it) and replaced him with their very close friend (and incredible
    talent) Alex Petersen, with whom they had played with in other bands for
    years. All of that became part of Under Summer, its composition and its
    expression.

    ________________________________________________
    Its a very personal album (hence singing) and while it means something
    very different to every member of yndi halda, it means a huge amount
    to all of them. Something far larger than written words in a press release,
    but something yndi halda hopes is present and perceptible in the
    record.
    yndi halda formed as teenagers and released their debut record Enjoy
    Eternal Bliss in 2006 through Big Scary Monsters (UK / Europe), Burnt
    Toast Vinyl (USA) and XTAL Records (Japan). Their music is at once
    subtle and joyous, hitting huge emotional peaks around moments of
    serene gentleness and heartbreaking sadness in its orchestration of
    sonorous guitar interlacing, meticulously crafted string arrangements and
    - now - soaring vocal harmonies. Described as epic beauty by Drowned
    in Sound and electrifying by The Line of Best Fit, Enjoy Eternal Bliss picked
    up accolades worldwide, leading the band to tours across the UK,
    Europe, USA, and Asia, including shows at Londons famed Barbican
    Hall, Koko and Union Chapel venues, and entirely selling out a short
    residency at Hoxton Hall.
    PRESS
    Golden Threads From The Sun is a fluid, rolling piece which is carried
    along before crashing into life at its mid-way point, as the band have
    always done best. This first preview shows no change in ambition after
    eight years away: theyre still shooting for the stars. Will Richards, DIY
