VIA WESTERN VINYL
BAND EMBARK ON NATIONAL TOUR
"It's one of the most brilliant bits of the band's career, and a preamble good enough to follow down most any stylistic wormhole."
- Pitchfork on the song "Pyrathanka"
"...a sprawling creation that is an indulgence for the careful listener."

Austin, TX based Balmorhea proudly release their fifth full-length album Stranger,
today October 2nd on Western Vinyl. The six-piece instrumental group
have also embarked upon a national tour which kicked off last week with
a rousing home town record release show in Austin at the Mohawk.
Celebrated on past releases for what the New Yorker eloquently described as the bands "slow burning, wordless, and ambient Americana," with Stranger
the band moves beyond contemplative reverence for the land and the
history of their home state. The most forward-leaning of their catalog,
Stranger presents
worlds of tenderness, aggression, estrangement, and freedom using an
expanded sonic palette including guitar loops, vibraphone,
synthesizers, ukulele, and steel pan drums. In addition to these new
sounds, electric guitars and percussion take the stage once occupied by
piano and acoustic guitars.
