UK reviews
"All the melodies are there, the playing is excellent and the production works well. ‘Yeah’ sticks out for the darker tones and heavier guitar riffs"

BALBEC was created as a band, on the foundations of a solo project, in March 2002. They made their first self-produced demo album, Including Pauses, in December 2002. In April 2004 BALBEC released the 7-track album From Mud To Gold. In 2006, they recorded Behind The Red Curtain, an 11-track album, and in the following spring the 4-track single Manufactured. They're back in 2009, stronger than ever, with the 11-track album Rise And Fall Of A Decade, probably their most hit-laden piece of work. BALBEC is still looking for a label willing to sign them! [Your feedback is much appreciated]

Naviguant entre trip-rock, cold-groove et dance-pop, BALBEC se joue de references diametrales et invite a la reverie multiforme. Impregnes de sejours dans les terres de Portishead et Tortoise, nourris de Stereolab et de Wedding Present, les 5 architectes nomades de BALBEC batissent leur edifice instable sur des influences seminales allant de Nick Drake a Mogwai. Sur pied depuis debut 2002, mais riche d experiences creatives puisant leur source au coeur de la vague indie puis post-rock des annees 90, BALBEC explore au fil des saisons des contrees nouvelles. Serez-vous du voyage ?

Hey - Thanks for the friendship! Music links us all together. There are wars taking place in every country in the world. Some are just more obvious. Check out my new video "Simpler Time". Reach out and make a difference and the ripple will be felt around the world. It has to come from within each of us. The alternative is unacceptable. Music can make a difference. Keep reaching out.
