Description
Singing in his native Yolngu tongue, Gurrumul Yunupingu uses his self-titled debut to showcase a vocal talent rarely heard in any culture, but which is especially surprising against the backdrop of the usually repetitive, frenetic Australian Aboriginal forms. The sound is in many ways otherworldly, but rather than being the result of production and manipulation, the sound is solely the result of Gurrumuls voice and his skill with sparse compositions that accompany and fill out the sound without drawing undue notice of their own accord. An excellent album all around, this debut will serve those unacquainted with the relevant Aboriginal sounds as well as those who are familiar with the traditions. Gurrumul is sure to make himself a lot of fans as awareness of this album spreads. ~ Adam Greenberg
