There are those mornings where you wake up before your alarm goes off, eat granola for breakfast, and run three miles before work. Then there's those morning where the only things that sound good to you are aspirin and a meal from the greasy spoon known as Main Street Cafe--that is, two eggs sunny-side-up, crispy bacon, rye toast and hash browns. And water. Lots of water.
While a hangover isn't required to enjoy Balam Acab, the soft, droning nature of his production is a potent antidote for the dozen times you heard "Party Rock Anthem" the night before.
Balam Acab is the nom de guerre of Alec Koone, a 20-year-old Pennsylvanian whose music carefully samples voices, compositional fragments and instrument snippets to combine them with semi-distorted beats, creating dreamlike, languid arrangements. The results are sobering, even when you haven't been drinking the night before.
"Oh, Why" is the first glimpse from his forthcoming record, Wander / Wonder, and it's just as strong as anything off last year's See Birds EP.
