Sun 28th Pulling Strings and Drowned in Sound present YNDI HALDA + AUDREY + The Monroe Transfer + DiS DJs
Doors 7.30 A free Stereo Test Kit Records CD sampler to the first 30 people through the doors. Yndi Halda play expansive and epic instrumental music, with varied sections and movements that rise to crescendo out of subtle, gentle ambience. Melodies ebb and flow, rising to beautiful explosions. Music which could soundtrack a modern day love story, as easily as a mid-century war. "That they're already greatly impressive is a fact humbled, rather, by the obvious certainty that they've the potential to one day be peerless. If it doesn't have critics stunned into adoration at its almost unprecedented beauty, then said individuals are most certainly deaf. That, or they've no heart and soul." [Drowned in Sound] "Haunting, halting, stunning, beautiful, utterly emotional and overwhelming in all its power and promise ... at times it's dread quiet, at others it feels like the world is caving in." [Moderate Rock Reviews] "Beautiful and shimmering. Expect big things." [Rock Sound] Sweden's Audrey create alandscape of sounds, rich and grand. Vocal harmonies mix with dark pop melodies, post-rock sounds and orchestral arrangements. Perhaps one can hear respectful nods to Rachel's, Karin Dreijers, Dirty Three, Low and Sigur Rós, but the result is very much their own. "A fabulous, shimmering debut, for fans of Sigur Ros, Stina Nordenstam, Björk or Low." - [The Sunday Times] "Become embraced by an album produced by a band with a lot of promise, then the coming winter months are sure to seem a whole lot warmer for Visible Forms' existence." - [Drowned in Sound] "This all-girl four-piece's debut is the most original record from a Nordic country since Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós. Gorgeous. Sublime. A long time since Björk released anything this good." [The Big Issue] "The unbelievably delicate debut from four Swedish girls ... they are bound to charm their way into your day." [Subba-Cultcha]
