Yonder
Yonder
(Rootsy.nu)

Price: 49 SEK

”Yonder” is a beautiful word. It can mean several things and is not so easy to define. It is mystical and simple at the same time, old fashioned or rather timeless. If you look it up in dictionary it says something like “within sight, but not near”; “further”. But this is about a musical group and not the word itself.

Yonder is a group based in Stockholm that take their time. Its first seed was sown some ten years ago when singer and harmonica player Mats Qwarfordt and guitar player Christer Lyssarides met in a Stockholm blues club. They discovered that they shared lots of thoughts about music and life.
It wasn´t until 2003 Yonder started performing, with the addition of bassman Björn Lundquist and drummer Kjell Gustavsson. Now, another four years later their debut record is here, simply called “Yonder”.

Yonder´s music is a bit ambiguous and indefinable. Mystical in all its simplicity and a little bit like the word itself, old fashioned or rather timeless. Same thing about the lyrics. They deal with love, life, death and life after death. Big and complicated subjects indeed, but Yonder´s lyrics are down to earth and simple without ever being one dimensional.

A lot of the musical inspiration comes from the other side of the Atlantic. Acoustic blues, southern soul and church music, old time. There are also traces of world music, Swedish folk in particular.

Their motto seems to be the old “less is more”. Quiet, laid back and thoughtful are all words that come to mind when listening to their music. But one could just as well put the emphasis on the intensity and strong will to communicate, both within the group and with the audience.
