CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description You can almost see the duo playing in front of a campfire, feeding the darkness of the forest with piano drops and the tender sound of fingers moving over the fretboard." -- Tokafi Mirroring the vast Texas skies, Balmorhea's music is imbued with a visceral weight and endless space. In April 2007, Balmorhea self-released their debut, followed by live dates in Texas and a West Coast tour. Their shows have included dates with The Drift, Bexar Bexar, One AM Radio, Caspian, and more. Balmorhea is currently planning a spring tour and working on a summer tour with their Italian friends Port-Royal. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsHeadphone Commute Review Headphone Commute | 03/17/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Balmorhea (pronounced bal-mor-ay) is a duo from Texas, Rob Lowe and Michael Muller, creating simple and enchanting music with ambient spaces, relaxing places, acoustic guitar, and a piano. For their second album they have expanded the group to a quartet, adding a cello and a violin. The style floats among folk, modern classical, and acoustic ambient. The production incorporates sensitive microphones recording live instrumentation, and the effect is immediate - the barely audible rustling and shuffling sounds teleport the listener into the studio, placing the ear near the frets, the keys and the bow. Unlike the duo's first self titled album, Rivers Arms is more mature in quality of production, and the vastness of field recordings used to offset intertwining melodies with a string accompaniment. It is especially a great headphone treat, as the sound is crystal clear and perfectly balanced within the stereo field. I recommend to grab their two albums together and play alongside Library Tapes, Eluvium and Goldmund. Favorite tracks: The Winter and Barefoot Pilgrims." Pretty Pretty music Amanda | Brooklyn, NY | 03/07/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "the strings, simple surreal vocals, wonderful listening experience. truly.... a more acoustic, stripped down AIR and a more vamped up (ish) sigor ros. thanks for the music" Fantastic Matthew J. Warren | Inyourmomspants, USA | 10/16/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Love listening to this while walking to school during the winter. This is the type of music that makes you forget about all your worries in the world. If you like this you'll love "Soundtrack to a Vacant Life" by The Flashbulb."
