Yordan Orchestra: Psych Intorduxeon/Bringing Incredients Together
|
Megatier Productions (LC 09LD9)
 Yordan Orchestra is a new Dutch psychedelic indie rock band and this 29-minute EP is their first release. The band’s leader, singer/guitarist Jack Aleister has previously been in bands Angina Pectoris, JAG and Mighty D. Yordan Orchestra gets its influences from The Beatles and Bowie to Brian Jonestown Massacre and Sonic Youth. Some of the stuff is quite catchy and even radio-friendly, but they also have a more experimental, artistic side plus jamming is part of their live show. “Käpt’n El, HanslG”, the opener, is a perfect example of a great, melodic, melancholic psych pop tune with some 60’s vibes. The vocals are closer to 90’s UK indie rock, though. The more I listen to this song, the more I like it, especially the chorus that also has those wonderful bell sounds. “Faced You in A Neon Light” is a bit wilder piece with some post punk feel and saxophone. Not bad at all. “RMDK” is a beautiful, melancholic ballad with a bit more experimental ending. “Washington Z (Zodiac Fullhorn Set Monarch)” is a slow, dark piece where the singer screams out some of the lyrics. Also some psychedelic effects on this one. “Marjolyne” is sort of art pop with some orchestration, theatrics and experimental edge. The last piece “T-Borne Egg” starts off instrumentally and very tranquilly and transports your mind into some other, strange place. After about five minutes of silence there are still a couple of minutes of music that sounds like jamming, although there are also vocals. This is a pretty weird ending for this quite interesting EP. Let’s see what the full-length will be like.
