The eagerly awaited follow-up to their debut album Entering The Mandala sees the signature Hsu-nami sound developing into a more mature one.
"I''m very proud of The Four Noble Truths. We took a lot of time arranging the tunes to perfection and used our instrument abilities to the fullest. I''m really excited for people to hear this album, it is truly an experience from anything you have ever heard before," says Jack, one of band''s founder.
"This album shows a more confident Hsu-nami. On Entering The Mandala, we found our sound and on The Four Noble Truths, we expanded our sound," says Brent.
"It represents how the world is changing and becoming smaller, how styles and cultures are becoming one. It''s a tribute to the past with a look forward into the future. It touches on many themes – war, suffering, hatred, sorrow, love, joy, longing and companionship. It''s life. To live is to suffer. Great creations come from suffering, and it shows how much we''ve been through."
Derril adds: "This record captures more of the energy and intensity of our live shows than anything we''ve done before. With our second self-produced CD, Hsu-nami is learning to use the studio as an instrument. The recording process is inspiring us to innovate, whereas it used to be a struggle to capture our music without losing too much excitement."
