FIVE of TEN
BALMORHEA -
"BOWSPRIT"
Constellations is the impressive
fourth album from Austin's Balmorhea, a group founded by
Michael Muller and Rob Lowe (both songwriters and
multi-instrumentalists). The album draws upon the imagery
of a variety of sources such as Moby Dick (a work which
itself contains various references to heavenly patterns),
translating these influences into delicate and reflective
instrumental compositions. Recorded in the fall and winter
months, Constellations retains the seasonal
quality of winding down and rest. The album was actually
written prior to the release of the band's third release
All Is Wild, All Is Silent (released in March
2009). After over a year of hibernation,
Constellations is released this month on Western
Vinyl.
