Hailing from Canterbury, England, Yndi Halda (say yin-dee hal-dar) derives their name from a Norse phrase supposedly meaning, "Enjoy Eternal Bliss." Fitting, then, that this would be the name of their first release. First pressed in 2007 and so far their only release, the "self-titled" record is classified as an EP, despite it's 65 minute running time. Yes that's right, an EP over an hour long, and they use that hour to its full potential. Yndi Halda builds excitement and tension extremely slowly of the course of each song, so this is not music for the impatient. However, it all leads to extraordinarily huge moments that will send shivers down your spine. Take an hour out of your day to listen to it, and I can guarantee you'll want to listen again.
