Balmorhea (bal-more-ray) is a Texas-based group formed in 2006 by founders Rob Lowe and Michael A. Muller. They play a modern style of classical music with textures and motifs inspired by the American West. With the help of additional musicians, Balmorhea creates a delicately layered and pastoral sound using plaintive strings and other instruments. Their music has been compared to post-classical indie ensembles like Stars of the Lid and Rachel's.

The duo returns with the Chime / Shone 7" vinyl for Record Store Day 2018. Recorded during the Clear Language sessions, the two tracks "Chime" and "Shone" flow gracefully with a clear-eyed sense of reflection, as these two old friends transmit unfettered meaning through simple sonic gestures that resonate with the cosmos as much as they echo the pulse of a human heart. In a culture dominated by the loudest, ostentatious voices, Lowe and Muller continue to prove the power and importance of restraint and minimalism. In September of 2017 the Austin-based instrumental band Balmorhea released Clear Language, an album which prompted NPR's Bob Boilen to say "I'm madly in love with this album…it's one these ambient records and beautiful records that I've just listened to over and over again." To create Clear Language, the duo returned to their roots, working simply and with restraint, letting intuition guide them as they molded the 10 elegant, spacious gestures that comprise the album.
