Yordan Orchestra

Psych Introduxeon/bringing Ingredients Together

Recently known for his sold out 7" ep on Fruitw De Mer, Jack Ellister reminds us of his debut 30 minute CD-EP a sadly ignored jewel, till now!!! Sounding Like a baroque, burlesque and grungier version of early '70s Pink Floyd, Yordan Orchestra wear their lysergic attitude loudly - announcing they have "mushrooms to try" on 'Faced You In A Neon Light' - but retain a core of approachable, melodic musical experimentalism that certain media-celebrated British bands would do well to emulate. It's difficult to call these tracks songs in the traditional sense, they're more like psych/progressive musical movements with a rare originality too. Jack's voice is effective as another instrument in much the same way as Bowie's has always been. He has a passion for what hes singing, moving from whispers to the occasional scream to put a mood across. Instrumentally too, theres a lot going on. Besides the usual guitars, bass, drums theres piano, cello, vibraphone, horns and a backing choir (not all at once though!). It all makes for one of the most intriguing releases you'll hear in quite a while, and three years too late! Thanks to FRUITS DE MER for bringing Jack to our attention.
