Free Music Notes for Yndi Halda (Enjoy Eternal Bliss)
Free Music Review: this album rocks
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this after hearing just one of the songs, and it's without a doubt one of the best musical purchases I've ever made.
Every song has multiple mind-blowing climaxes, and they just don't seem to get old. It's as approachable as post-rock can get.
I can't wait for new stuff from Yndi Halda.
Free Music Review: Headphone Commute Review
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been listening to Yndi Halda for a while now, and it's an album that does not get old or tiresome. Rather, like a trip back home after a nostalgic year, the melodies are at once recognized and welcomed back with the feelings upon the very first listen. This is a first EP from a Canterbury (UK) based five piece instrumental post-rock band, although it has been floating around ever since its initial release as a three-track demo. Since then, Yndi Halda (which literally means "Enjoy Eternal Bliss" in Old Norse, a Medieval Scandinavian language) got signed by three labels, toured around the globe, and achieved world-wide distribution deal in February 2007. One of the band's talented members is James Vella, with an excellent release on Dynamophone Records under his side-project moniker A Lily [more on that later]. I'm going to skip all the adjectives and simply recommend this album, for the likes of This Will Destroy You, This Is Your Captain Speaking, Joy Wants Eternity and Caspian. Favorite tracks - all of them.Free Music Review: Liberally borrows...but only from the best
Hit: 3 Stars
3 1/2
This "ep" does have some jaw-droppingly beautiful moments, and remains a great find for me (being heavy into the post-rock movement), though to overlook many of it's derivations would be a disservice to the seasoned listener. Yndi does borrow many elements from their forefathers. I hear the string arrangements of Mono, the melodies of Godspeed and Silver Mt, the electric tones of Exlosions, etc..all over this thing. I would call it a spectacular introduction into the genre for the uninitiated, though people using this music for the past ten years to feed their souls may find their inner cynic knocking. By all means, keep him at bay and just enjoy the emulation of bliss.
I can only hope (with increasing reluctance) that some of my favorite modern music does not continue down a path of cliche, and instead finds new avenues to thrive and articulate this sweltering passion.
Free Music Review: Unbelievable!
Hit: 5 Stars
As an album, this is absoutely amazing. But as an EP, this is unbelievable.
I'm finding it difficult to describe this album in words. All that I can reccomend doing is listening to it. Describing such an amazing piece of music would be near-impossible. The climaxes found in Enjoy Eternal Bliss (ESPECIALLY the one found in We Flood Empty Lakes) is enough to make your jaw drop. I'm 100% serious.
I may have to order this, as it was sent over the internet by a friend. This is too good of an album not to own.
