Because Balmorhea apparently can’t bear to let a year go by without their name being on a top ten list, the local (mostly) instrumental quintet is releasing another album next month. Local-imprint Western Vinyl will once again do the labeling, and Balmorhea’s continued onslaught of releases must mean the label is doing pretty well, which is great, because they’re certainly one of the best in town. But seriously Balmorhea, you have got to slow this ship down - you’re making all the other bands in town look bad. Plus people are going to start thinking this is way too easy for y’all! Balmorhea’s release show for the album, called Constellations, will be at the Central Presbyterian Church on February 19 along with Damien Jurado, but we’re more interested in the show they’re playing later in the month in Ohio with Mark McGuire. What?! Is the slugger changing the spelling of his name and forging a new career in ‘roid rock? Awesome! We guess the standards for getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are more lax than Cooperstown. Balmorhea will also be heading out on a North American tour with the great Danes, Efterklang. Anyway, you download the new tune “Bowsprit” below, which we recommend over going to the band’s website, which seems aimed at inducing maximum motion sickness.
