“Stunning on a number of levels… an album that not only spotlights ancient language, but recontextualises it in thrilling ways.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ NME Australia
“The songs are rich with cultural significance and musical innovation.” RRR Album of the Week
“Clear reverence and attention to detail that transforms it from an important record to an essential one.” Undrcurrents
Butchulla Songman Fred Leone and musical polymath Samuel Pankhurst are Yirinda. They unite an ancient Aboriginal language with sublime modern production to invoke thousands of generations of story and culture, whilst emerging as something entirely new.
In a live context it takes on a weighted significance—with Fred, whose background encompasses a culture stretching back millennia with contemporary hiphop, introducing and contextualising songs in his inimitable fashion. He’s both an MC and a master of ceremony.
Samuel Pankhurst’s productions are contemporary exercises in sonic pointillism, evoking the vocabulary of electronic music while retaining a grounding in physical instrumentation. It’s a fine pairing to Leone in that it manages to encompass two universes.
Together they are beyond compelling—a transcendent experience that rewards deep listening—and when joined by a wider ensemble they are a force to be reckoned with.
“The whole show felt like an invitation to feel that same depth, to understand the time and the distance that the songs had traveled to reach us…It was just a quick view into a vast, growing, breathing knowledge system that lives in this land and its First Peoples.” nothingeverhappensinbrisbane.com
