Shot at twilight (or "magic hour" as it's known in the film world) over the course of 42 days, this gorgeous video from director Colin Kennedy follows professional skateboarder Danny Garcia as he navigates Los Angeles in the final moments of daylight, which I think that makes this the " Days of Heaven " of skateboard videos.

Balmorhea have released the music video for their song "Pyrakantha" from their recently released full-length album Stranger (Western Vinyl). Having just wrapped up a successful European tour, the Austin, TX band are back home for...

Ambient music is a field that, in general, is insufficiently covered in the blogosphere. We’ve decided to explore this music with the help of Oleksiy Sakevych of Endless Melancholy, who has compiled this playlist exclusively for The Record Stache. We begin with an offering from his own musical project before widening our horizons with some other luminous ambience. Look and listen further – find Endless Melancholy on Bandcamp and Facebook and a wide assortment of other ambient artists care of Hidden Vibes too. Endless Melancholy – We Have [...]

¿La primera banda de post-folk? Por: @diegoyellobo Balmorhea viene a la Ciudad de México y últimamente me ha tocado escribir muchas cosas sobre ellos. No es fácil. Cada vez que se tiene que describir a una banda aparecen los géneros y las comparaciones. En este caso, una ficha técnica diría algo como que su música parte de una mezcla de influencias clásicas, folk y de post-rock que hacen imposible encasillarla en un género. El problema es que esa se ha vuelto una expresión tan trillada estos [...]
"With instrumental music the expanse of relateability is essentially endless." With their most recent release, Stranger, american experimental-folk-band BALMORHEA once again headed for new territories. There's rarely any other band out there at the moment, which captures different moods and vibes by the means of pure instrumental music and turn it into absolutely stunning records The post Interview: Balmorhea - "One can always log-off, tune out and just play old vinyls!" appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
• So, listening to Bardo Pond cover "Maggot Brain," the only thing that I'm disappointed by is how they didn't ask Isobel to deliver the Eddie Hazel introduction like the original. That would have been really cool. Alas, they've got her playing flute, which is surprisingly effective. I imagine at some point I'll make it [...]

Balmorhea (ausgesprochen Bal-more-ay) ist eine 6-kpfige Post-Rock Band aus Austin, Texas und wurde 2006 gegrndet. Insgesamt 5 Alben hat die Band bisher verffentlicht. Ihr aktuelles Album heit "Strangers", erschien zumindest in den USA bereits im Oktober letzten Jahres und soll im Mittelpunkt meiner heutigen Betrachtungen stehen. Einen besonderen Anlass gibt es nicht. Wie damals im Winter stehen Balmorhea immer noch fr verwunschene Klangwelten, krautigen Jazz, Folk und Ambient. Musik die viel eher an zeitgenssischer Klassik und Experimentalmusik als denn blichen Radau instrumentalen Post-Rocks erinnert. Zumal die Band glaubhaft versichert, das sie zum Beispiel die Musik [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the moment you've all been waiting for: I'm going to post something! Wow. That was really special, wasn't it? I wonder how I'll follow up such a momentous artistic achievement!? You'll have to wait and see! RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited [...]
Balmorhea covers 'So I Can Take My Rest' by Robert Earl Keen for the AV Club & State of Texas.

Jusqu'ici tout était simple. Il y avait un chemin, patiemment tracé, un objectif au bout du chemin. On l'avait suivi presqu'aveuglément et on avait été récompensé, plus qu'on aurait pu l'imaginer. Ce chemin, on l’avait pris en route. On avait manqué les premiers pas. Parce qu’en ce temps-là, 2007, si proche et si lointain déjà, on ne se préoccupait pas forcément d’un album éponyme autoproduit par deux amis, là-bas, loin, au Texas, sous les auspices d’ une petite ville de l’ouest de l’état , avec les moyens du bord, un équipement maigre. C’était un [...]
Sometimes life feels like nothing else than a big journey. A constant one between different places, unknown future, past memories and the opportunity to meet a lot of people along the way. English singer/songwriter WILL SAMSON can sing a song about this feeling. Or better said - he already did in the past with the tender The post NBHAP Exclusive: Guestmix #12 - Will Samson appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
I've recently been revisiting some of my favorite ambient artists and making some new discoveries. I thought I'd do a little roundup of what I've been daydreaming to for the last week. Rhian Sheehan & Helios Keith Kenniff AKA Helios ... Continue reading
![[MEGA Playlist] 60+ Instrumental Tracks You Need to Listen to](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741497_lg.jpg)
Everyone loves lyrics. Whether they're light-hearted and playful, soul-gripping and gut-wrenching, or abstract and avant garde, we all love to sing along, relate certain verses to our personal lives, or just be taken away by another person's story. On the other hand, hearing a great instrumental track is an entirely different experience. Without having words to identify with, your brain is free to let the music create an image in your mind. The interpretation is more so up to you than if you had someone defining it with their own words. Having this blank canvas allows your mind [...]

In which there are smatterings and mixtures and examples of things that make people happy. It could be nature. It could be buying things. It could be sacrificing an unwitting victim to your pagan god, or even gay soccer football love with alternate universes where dance is a battle and gyrating gold aliens the weapons.........ya [...]
It's that time of year folks, when we here at Austin Town Hall try to convince you that we know what's what in the world of music. We're starting things off with our list of Top Ten Austin Albums of 2012. We purposefully left out EPs, just focusing on the Album as a whole, since that's our favorite form of media. Before you read this, please know that this is just the expressed OPINION of ours, and you're definitely cool to disagree. Let us know your thoughts, and make sure your favorite Austin bands send us their hits in 2013! [...]
