Yndi Halda, whose name is drawn from Old Norse and translates to "enjoy eternal bliss," is a post-rock ensemble that originated from Kent, England. The group, known for their emotive and expansive soundscapes, was formed in the early 2000s by multi-instrumentalists who shared a deep passion for expressive, cinematic music. Their compositions often feature a blend of soaring string arrangements, delicate piano melodies, and dynamic guitar-driven climaxes, resulting in deeply affecting and intricate musical pieces.

Yndi Halda gained critical acclaim with the release of their debut EP, "Enjoy Eternal Bliss," in 2006, which showcased their talent for crafting long-form pieces that journey through multiple movements and emotional states. The band's penchant for creating lush, immersive experiences continued with their full-length record "Under Summer," released a decade later in 2016. This album further cemented their status as luminaries within the post-rock genre, blending orchestral elements with a narrative-driven approach to songwriting. The band's dedication to their craft and to evolving their sound has been evidenced in more recent releases, including "A Sun-Coloured Shaker" in 2018 and its accompanying remix by Prefuse 73, indicating their openness to reinterpretation and collaboration within the evolving landscape of experimental music.
