Dizzy Storm Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Dizzy Storm, IMP & Vocoustics are very pleased to be bringing this lovely bunch to Aberdeen, for your listening pleasure BALMORHEA (Austin, Texas).:Western Vinyl:.Balmorhea on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music DownloadsBALMORHEA (pronounced BAL-MOOR-AY) are Rob Lowe & Michael Muller, who now boast a 6 piece band, working in collaboration with Aisha Burns on Violin, Nicole Kern on Cello, Taylor Thean on drums and Travis Chapman on Upright Bass.They self-released their first album, Balmorhea, in April 2007 and followed up with Rivers Arms in February 2008. Balmorhea have toured the US three times and released a limited edition, hand numbered Tour EP at the end of 2008. They recently completed their third full-length, entitled All Is Wild, All Is Silent, which has just been released on Western Vinyl.Their music has the swells of Stravinsky, the mercurial keyboard majesty of Debussy, the triad-based romanticism of Arvo Prt, the clangorous sensuality of Keith Jarrett, and the electronics-meet-acoustics approach of Max Richter. If those names don't mean much to you, just think of Balmorhea as pretty music that works on multiple levels! Balmorhea's music is gorgeous, dynamic, and emotive, combining piano, acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, strings, and samples into short passes, so that nothing's too consuming or exhausting.Following global acclaim of Rivers Arms, performances have included shows with Stars of the Lid, Efterklang, Anathallo, Eluvium, Caspian, This Will Destroy You, Grouper and Fleet Foxes among others. In August of 2008, Balmorhea hit the US West Coast again with label-mate Bexar Bexar and Sub Pops Tiny Vipers before heading back into the studio for work on their 3rd full-length. A self-released EP also came out of that same session that sold out its limited pressing in a few short weeks.So far in 2009, Balmorhea toured NW US with virtuoso Peter Broderick in January, played 3 shows at this years SXSW and will embark on a month long european tour in AprilTHURS 7TH MAY 2009TUNNEL 2DOORS 8PM6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Storm Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 one support confirmed for Balmorhea..KRISTOFFER MORGANof Edgar Prais/Alyssas Wish/Liber8 (wow thats going back a bit!) fame...now going it alone it seems, or just as a side project perhaps? Whichever it is, stories of sad-sack-drunks and broken-hearted-lovers to the tune of the 60s folk revival with a hint of 90s Lo-Fi, sounds very good, and errr very grown up?!
