Search - Balun :: Something Comes Our Way

"Balún have created some elegant, folky, tranced-out atmospherics ... echoing percussive pops and sputters bounce across stereo time, mingling with accordion and guitar to create tempestuous gems." - BADGER HERALD Balún is an electro-acoustic pop outfit that composes soft and sweet rhythmic sound collages - simple guitar riffs and subdued glitchy beats with bells, violin, and accordion. Angelica Negrón's vocals are reminiscent of a child absentmindedly singing to herself while making a princess crown out of field flowers. The product of Balún's sound is one of nostalgia or, better yet, daydreaming - music for when you realize you've wandered into an unfamiliar place, but you don't mind that you're lost. Along with acts such as Superaquello and Phasmid, Balún are developing a cult following in the blossoming San Juan underground scene. Although influenced by American and European indie bands (Ulrich Schnauss, Múm, Boards of Canada, I Am Robot and Proud), they still exhibit a sonic attachment to their native Puerto Rico. Their waterfalls of sound, with hollowed-out melodies and haunting rhythms, have been showcased on a number of EPs and compilations released by various labels around the globe. Now, at long last, Brilliante Records is thrilled to announce the release Balún's full-length debut.
