The mysterious alternative world music group known as Ianai lifts the veil a little further with the release of a second single off the forthcoming album entitled Sunir. The song "Elitha" is available now via all digital service providers. A lyric video, in the hitherto unknown language sung by the band's vocalist Ianai Trevenial, is also being made available today, created by Ingo Sporl.
"Elitha's five minutes manifest an energy into being. This energy embodies a plethora of names and shapes throughout human history, and it can be approached using one's beliefs and cultural roots as a guide", comments the band and continues, "the music acts as an encouragement to leave earthly worries behind oneself and leap far into lands unknown. When feeling bound down by the shackles of cold, cruel reality of your surroundings, the music flows free, abundant with bliss and a sense of purpose. It is a remembrance of the light that is always there, not at the ends of tunnels but transmitted by the tips of human fingers and carried by the tongues people speak."
The line-up on this single is: Ianai Trevenial (vocals), Jaani Peuhu (electric kantele, dulcimer, mandolin, bass guitar, alto recorder, synthesizer, acoustic guitar, drums, shaman drum, bongo drums, programming, djembe, claves, tambourine, finger cymbals), Sarah Wohlfhart (additional vocals), Juuso Raatikainen (drums, timpani, djembe), Thomas Rönnholm (snare drum), Mika "Gas Lipstick" Karppinen (shaker, tambourine), Kata Mirella (sitar), Aleksi Saraskari (tuba), Ville Koponen (violin), Aleksi Munter (additional sound design), Chris Boge (backing vocals).
To speak to Trevenial, the single-entity, multi-instrumentalist voice from the other side of the veil, is to speak to a spirit that transcends the veil of this world and crosses borders beyond time and place. But you will not speak to Trevenial, but hear the words put forth in Ianai. Ianai is the essence of music that will permeate culture and influence without thought of boundaries or convention. Ianai is mythos in the making.
Acting as a messenger between two worlds and Ianai is music carried from within through the ages. Now is the time to let the waking world hear it too. On the 10th of June, Sunir, the debut musical offering from Ianai will be released via Svart Records.
In music, Ianai is joined by a cohort of musicians from the world music scene and classical orchestras but also people from modern bands such as Massive Attack (UK), Client (UK), HIM (Finland), The Sisters Of Mercy (UK), Theodor Bastard (Russia), Lord Of The Lost (Germany), Swallow The Sun (Finland), Mercury Circle (Finland) and Souvenir Season (Germany).
The album is produced by Jaani Peuhu (Swallow The Sun, Iconcrash, Mercury Circle) and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios (Ghost, Ulver, Paradise Lost).
From a time before time; before the ocean swallowed Atlantis and the named gods sat atop their mountains. When the ancient ones roamed free, unburdened, Ianai whispers through the boundary of legends. When you hear Ianai, will you heed the call? Link
