new Syntaks album, Ylajali, out November 3rd

24.9.09

The new record from Jakob Scott and Anna Cecilia is due November 3rd on Ghostly International. Syntaks may best be known to most for the album Golden Sun with Manual but Jakob has had his hand in a slew of projects over the years. The new album is based on the character Ylajali from the book Hunger, written in 1888 by Knut Hamsun. It was it was recorded in the very spot the book was written. The record is a truly stunning and has been getting a lot of play around here lately.
