{"product_id":"ylajali","title":"Ylajali","description":"Personnel: Rasmus Rasmussen (guitar).\u003cbr\u003ePhotographer: Marie Cathrine Jorgensen.\u003cbr\u003eNo longer a solo alias for multi-instrumentalist and producer Jakob Skott, Syntaks officially transforms into a duo on YLAJALI. The album features the wordless, largely textural voice of new member Anna Cecilia, who appeared as a guest on 2006's AWAKES. Inspired by Knut Hamsun's 1890 novel, HUNGER, and recorded a short distance from the location where the book was written, YLAJALI--named after the mysterious woman who eludes the protagonist, a shriveling drifter--nonetheless seems more affected by its sonic touchstones: lush dream pop and wistful IDM. It's a remarkable progression from the inert clunkiness that prevented AWAKES from rivaling the best of its new school of ambient dream pop class (Manual's ASCEND, Ulrich Schnauss' A STRANGELY ISOLATED PLACE). Even when it most resembles a Morr Music tribute to Harold Budd and the Cocteau Twins' THE MOON AND THE MELODIES, it is doubtlessly capable of rousing the most lapsed of shoegazers.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46260431159583,"sku":"804297909127","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/1baf43b192af965c4cef0fc069c3f9d9.jpg?v=1777890428","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/ylajali","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
