Clamor and Candor by Balmorhea

Here’s something a little different from the usual indie/electro shenanigans. Their name may sound like a messy stomach complaint, but Balmorhea (pronounced Bal-moor-ay) are onto their fifth long-player – due for release in the spring – and list influences as diverse as ‘Ludovico Einaudi, The Six Parts Seven, Claude Debussy, Ludwig van Beethoven, Rachel’s, Gillian Welch, Max Richter, Arvo Pärt and John Cage’. They’re kind of post-rock without the guitars, post-classical if you will. Download Clamor and a remix of the similarly named Candor by label-mate Botany, below. There’s also a live album coming out later this month on Western Vinyl.
