sternerb Love the spare, careful arrangements that accompany her tender vocals. Favorite track: Ursgal.

lordbelshare999 what can I really say, to give form to my feelings on this album? It is a beautiful creation, like avant garde Jazz and poetry. The atmosphere is a bit dark and dream like, something like flying through a night sky. I'm very impressed by this album. Favorite track: Zavkhan.

Karolyn Jaranilla despite the gray and grainy album art, Enji's vocals radiate a warmth that's undeniable. Favorite track: Zavkhan.

badgerworld I mean, I had expected to like this, and I did, but what I didn't expect was that it would be quite _that_ beautiful.

Also that trombone on Sevkhet Bor. Just. Yes. Favorite track: Sevkhet Bor.

The Nephilim Novel This is music from the soul. You might think you've heard this type of music before, but let me assure you, there is nothing else like it. It can only come from a place of an expat navigating the world abroad, and deep down that's where the soul of this music is. Favorite track: I'm Glad There Is You.

about

On her second album Ursgal Mongolian singer Enji creates a unique blend of Jazz and Folk with the traditions of Mongolian song. Currently based in Munich, her lyrics tell personal stories about unbearable distances, the oddness of being on earth and the simple truths in life.
She’s accompanied by Paul Brändle on guitar and Munguntovch Tsolmonbayar on double bass.
Born in Ulaanbaatar, Enji grew up in a yurt to a working-class family. Having always been drawn to music, dance and literature, she initially wanted to become a music teacher with little ambitions to compose or be on stage. A program by the local Goethe Institute sparked her passion for Jazz and eventually led her to become a performing artist. Inspired by the music of Carmen McRae, Ella Fitzgerald and Nancy Wilson, Enji started writing songs of her own, cherishing this newfound means of expression. Ursgal is the first record featuring her original compositions.
