Balmorhea
Austin Texas duo-turned-quartet Balmorhea makes melancholic acoustic music, complicating roots Midwest Americana with cinematic ambience. It took me a few tries to get into their music since I’m not preloaded with the rural midwest culture, in fact I’ve lived %99 of my life within the hubbub of a metropolis of over 10 million.

Netlabel : 12 Records

Banabila
Hey, I’m nowhere near completing my top list for 2006, so once again I’m postponing it to next week, and go to a festival in Istanbul to enjoy some open air.
Banabila is Rotterdam based composer Michel Banabila, a well-known ambient-downtempo musician. Although he’s released lots of stuff, I only listened to his collab with [...]
