Yndi Halda (pronounced Yin-Dee Hal-Dar) are a post-rock band from Canterbury, United Kingdom. The band writes expansive, cinematic music comparable to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but are often considered more ‘optimistic’ or ‘hopeful’ than these bands with extremely energetic live performances, allowing them to stand between the ‘traditional’ post rock genre and the more upbeat American indie-rock.

Comprising of members Jack Lambert (guitar), Brendan Grieve (bass), Daniel Neal (violin), oliver newton (drums, tamborine) and James Vella (guitar, glockenspiel and lapsteel), the band formed in 2001 while all of the members were still in school. In the summer of 2005, they began recording the three tracks that make up debut release Enjoy Eternal Bliss (EP), which was finished in the autumn of that year. A fourth track has been planned for the world-wide release of Enjoy Eternal Bliss in November 2006, on both Big Scary Monsters and Burnt Toast Vinyl.

The self-released edition of Enjoy Eternal Bliss was often reviewed favourably (although the band have boldly copied negative reviews onto their myspace site), and gained a lot of attention because of its distinctive, individualised hand-made covers.

They have since gained a great deal of support from the self-released EP despite their limited exposure on the live circuit and have recently signed to the Big Scary Monsters record label in Europe and Burnt Toast Vinyl in North America. Vella also works on a side project title A Lily.
