I’ve already written about instrumental six-piece Balmorhea here, here and here. I think it’s because they’re just a little bit wonderful.
2010 saw the release of their fourth full length Constellations, an album that I’m yet to hear in its entirety. It’s on my (long) list! Not only that, they’ve also released a limited edition 7″ entitled Candor/Clamor. Sample ‘Clamor’ below, and then check out ‘Baleen Morning’ from their 2008 release Rivers Arms. It’s my favourite.

They seem a little… noisy to me. Not in a cacophonous way, but some of their phrasing seems a bit disjointed. Still, it’s very different and def. worth a listen. Thanks!
Hi Agnes, this is great stuff. I’ll certainly be checking out Balmorhea. It’s a little like a less chaotic/punky Godspeed You Black Emperor, and there’s also a bit of Sigur Ros in there, and that’s not a bad thing.
