Another Gem from the Forthcoming A Lily EP

Back in June I pointed out that James of yndi halda lore was working on his own new album under his moniker, A Lily. Well, luckily, you’re only a few short days away from its worldwide availability, but why not tease you with one of the more haunting numbers. It begins as a brooding number, ambling along beneath a sky of thundering drums and fuzzed chords; Vella slowly lets his voice do some work, quietly whispering through your speakers as the atmospheric elements become more noticeable. If you’re looking for some emotive release, there is a light crescendo after the three minute mark, though its fairly restrained in the grand scheme of things. The album is titled Id Dar Tal Missier, and it drops on Friday via Kingfisher Bluez.

New Music from A Lily

James Vella is one of the members of post-rock outfit Yndi Halda, but today we bring you a project from his solo work under the moniker A Lily. He’s prepping Id-Dar Tal Missier and this song should put you immediately on alert to his craft. The song really has two main parts, repeated twice. The opening section is this careful bit of quiet pop; it works around a metronomic rimshot, tinkering keys and Vella’s voice as instrument. While it may not be immediately apparent, the first movement builds towards to second, with this burst of spectacular pop where the feelings give a sense of natural joyousness…and slowly it returns to the first movement. A special number awaits you my friends; the EP will be released by KingfisherBluez on August 31st.
