Balam Acab

The project of Ithaca, New York’s Alec Koone, Balam Acab — named after a Mayan demigod who created rainbows by piercing clouds with arrows — began as an experimental noise project while he was still a Pa high-school student. He resuscitated the name a couple of years later being a music pupil at Ithaca University, incorporating dubstep, U.K. bass, and R&B components into his atmospheric noises, drawing evaluations to Grouper aswell as move/witch house performers such as for example Salem and Light Band. Balam Acab’s critically acclaimed debut EP, Find Birds, premiered this year 2010 with the Tri Position imprint. The EP was reissued early in the next calendar year, while Koone’s debut record, Wander/Wonder, found its way to September 2011.
