Hinter Balam Acab steckt Alec Koone, 19, geboren in Pennsylvania und nun ansässig in New York. Sein letztjähriges (wunderbares) Debüt, See Birds EP, wurde von Wander/Wonder (Triangle Records) nun noch einmal getoppt. Koone selbst beschreibt sein Album wie folgt:
“It’s an open ended album, and I think individuals should make their own meaning of it so that it is something actually real to them. It’s not classical music, but in the tradition of a classical work like a Bach Cello Suite, I see it as more of a whole musical piece with themes/motifs/ideas reoccurring throughout, connecting the tracks together as opposed to simply being a collection of songs that sit next to each other in isolation. It’s also an album that should be listened to loudly.”
Auf NPR Musik gibt es einen Stream zu Wander/Wander. Gänsehaut.
