Eight-years on from 'Enjoy Eternal Bliss' Brighton based quintet Yndi Halda are now preparing to release 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. 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.
