The good folks over at Daytrotter recently invited Balmorhea to record live sessions that are all available as free downloads…

You can look anywhere and everywhere in the Balmorhea biography and the same goes for any band member contribution/instrumentation listings. You are not going to find a mention of any of the five members claiming their roles in the vocal department. It’s as if the brief interludes that we hear in their songs, where the spell of sole instrumental playing is broken, are highly suspect, as in the possibility that they are the works of other forces stepping invisibly up to the running microphones in the room and giving their harmonies or condolences in the case of these often sad and lonely songs. – Daytrotter

Digital Edition: January 2012
As I write this the eyes are slightly blurred and the brain is slowly giving way… I guess that’s what seven hours sat in front of a computer screen will do to you! I hope you will agree that it has been worth it as this months digital edition is packed (125 pages to be [...]

Recent Mixes

Listening Mirror – That Gum You Like Is Going To Come Back In Style
There’s no real rhyme or reason behind the selections in this mix. They are all tracks I love, by artists I have great respect for. Some, like Tonto’s Expanding Head Band, opened my eyes to electronic music when I was a teenager in the early 70′s, and I still have my original copies of their [...]

Each was provided a video camera and weekly interview questions to document his own experience. The resulting 600 hours of intimate footage revealed a group of [...]
