Yonder

by The catholics

supported by

freejazzy Fresh and crisp with influences from all over the world. It's fun to listen to. Sounds like they are playing live together instead of recording one after the other. However, its brilliantly done, the energy is there. Favorite track: Yonder.

Robert Middleton This album is impossibly wonderful with lively, bouncing melodies and rhythms. Every song hits the spot. It immediately rose to the top of my favorite jazz albums ever. Favorite track: Yonder.

Ruby This has got to be one of my favourite albums of all time. Always an absolute pleasure to listen to! Favorite track: Floating on an Emerald Green Sea.

John Cratchley OK. All you need to know is this music is hot and it swings...
If you are old enough to know what that means, then buy this gem.

about

The eighth release from Lloyd Swanton's long-running (over two decades now!) outfit.

Fans of The catholics' winning formula of tough jazz blowing over scintillating worldbeat grooves will know just what to expect, but the element which makes Yonder stand out from The catholics' previous releases is the presence of Gary Daley's accordion.

A really fresh album from a band which was in no danger of going stale anyway.

PRESS:

"This is what I'd consider a near-perfect jazz album...so clever yet simple...you really just want Yonder to go on and on, like the baked country roads in their cover shot...

The depth, colour and life had me reaching for a glass of red - searching for some way to celebrate the creation of such a bold and unified jazz statement... I didn't find the wine, but I opened the windows so the neighbours could hear."
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD (ONLINE)

"The first recording since Gary Daley joined The catholics confirms he was an inspired choice...to swap to Daley's accordion after two decades of slide guitar was always going to dye The catholics' fabric a different hue, but it's an enchanting one.

More than ever, the band sounds as if it plays the national music of an imaginary - possibly Caribbean - country.

If anything, the accordion makes the music breezier. More remarkable is the way it thickens the textures without the sound losing its essential airiness"
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD (PRINT EDITION)

"A perfect extension to the finely crafted repertoire of these highly skilled professionals" (4 and 1/2 Stars)
THE AUSTRALIAN

"This intriguing recording brings a worldly musical texture to each track... The catholics always surprise their listeners and continue to explore their unique Australian roots" (4 and 1/2 Stars)
X-PRESS MAGAZINE (AUSTRALIA)

"Sophisticated cosmopolitanism... (Yonder) features the bright and breezy blowing, contrasting light and shade and wide ranging influences that characterises their music... covers a lot of territory both musically and stylistically, in its 67:05 minutes journey...arguably the pick of their catalogue"
RHYTHMS MAGAZINE (AUSTRALIA)

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid

Three

I love this album. The dense, intense, fractal-like first track gives way to an incredibly moody and spacious second track which (for me) conjures up some of the weirdest vibes that I love from Bitches Brew… just a great and wide-ranging album, unlike anything else really. Tauber

Difficult to name a favourite track, however if I was forced to choose an all time favourite album this would certainly be up there at the top. I'm in the UK but it was a friend in South Africa that introduced me to Gondwana. Absolutely beautiful album from start to finish, amazing musicians and composition both. Thank you, it inspires me to become a better musician. rai scott
