BALAM ACAB (USA) *LIVE*

With special guests Diger Rokwell, Andrew Sinclair, Clunk, Declan, Zowaski and Jo Lettenmaier

Friday, February 17
The Bakery – 233 James Street, Northbridge

This is functional music that highlights the simple pleasure of artfully arranged sound, the kind of gorgeous and evocative record that fills up the room and shifts your perception for 37 minutes and then brings you gently back to the surface.
- Pitchfork

Pennsylvanian genius Balam Acab (aka Alec Koone) brings his much-hyped show to The Bakery on Friday, February 17.

Signee to buzz-label Tri Angle Records, Balam Acab’s debut album Wander/Wonder has received an amazing reception, winning rave reviews from the likes of Pitchfork and Resident Advisor. It’s an incredibly patient record; there’s an enormous sense of restraint that means that when the record hits, it’s “like an earthquake in fuzzy slippers”. Drawing comparisons to Burial, Balam Acab uses delicate, pitched up vocals and ethereal, echoed melodies combined with deep bass to create a completely enveloping listening experience.

Live, expect spellbinding experimental pop music that pushes boundaries both in terms of songcraft and production. Wander/Wonder is reworked in a live setting, with tracks disassembled and rearranged to create an entirely fresh sound.

Supports come from a cavalcade of local superstars – Diger Rokwell, Andrew Sinclair, Clunk, Declan, Zowaski and Jo Lettenmaier
