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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Scary Monsters","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50469616943435,"sku":"2018485","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_9fa0c8af_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727364282"},{"product_id":"a-sun-coloured-shaker","title":"A Sun-Coloured Shaker","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarking both a thematic accompaniment and a follow-up to their acclaimed 2016 full-length \u003ci\u003eUnder Summer\u003c\/i\u003e, the new EP explores new musical and lyrical ideas, and represents a band continuing to progress their own maturing and developing songwriting.

The closely-crafted vocal harmonies and new musicalities of Under Summer have been continued in \u003ci\u003eA Sun-Coloured Shaker\u003c\/i\u003e, but their form is now embedded into a symbiotic world in which a love of true songwriting, meticulous post-classical arrangement, contemporary indie, choral music, and transcendent longform structure coexist.
