20 year-old Pensylvania-based Alec Koone aka ‘Balam Acab’ releases his debut full-length ‘Wander/Wonder’ next week on Tri Angle and I can’t wait to get a copy after listening to ‘Oh Why’, the first track on the album as well as his latest remixes that can be checked here below. His music sounds much richer in terms of melody and emotion that on his debut ‘See Birds’ EP. To cut it short, I would say that he moved away from the dark witch-house thing and gets closer to the freshest UK post-dubstep scene, Stay + or Slime in particular. Boomkat says it very well : ‘The American artist’s brilliance lies in his ability to coax an almost liturgical drama out of loosely speaking R&B tropes, and to locate a timeless pastoral sublime in the glassy surfaces of fragmented contemporary pop’
