Baleen began in an upstairs apartment in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1997. Mike Vagianos and Brian Wingate, both college students at the time, got together to collaborate on acoustic guitar. Their improvisations convinced them that there was a muse worth following, and Mike recruited drummer Phil Disher to complete their sound. The three began to hone a progressive instrumental approach incorporating live instruments, samples, drum machines, and ambient recordings.
In 1999 Baleen released their debut album Personality Plus, which showcased the band’s brooding soundscapes. Brian Wingate left the band shortly before the release of the album to pursue other interests, but Mike and Phil continued to refine the band’s sound.
They were joined by a trio of musicians from the progressive Charlotte-based band The Xperiment. With Derrick Hines on keyboards and vocals, Tony McCullough on sax and vocals, and Steve McMillan on bass, the band now had access to a virtually unlimited sonic and stylistic palette. Three successive albums showcased their virtuosity and songwriting skills, and a steady touring schedule built a strong following through the Southeast.
In 2006, Baleen took a break as several members pursued other endeavors. But not long afterward, Baleen came full circle.
Mike, living in Atlanta at the time, was only three hours away from Brian in Nashville. So they reunited their acoustic guitars, opened their minds, and the muse returned. The result is Baleen’s new full length album “the same boat”.
Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a thousand supernovas. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. You turn the atmosphere ablaze with currents of sweet ethylene when you smile. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Panoramic aromavision is the future. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs.
Here is the link. All you have to do is sign up for the site and then vote Sun Domingo. That would mean a lot for the band because they totally deserve it. I have see them live couple times. They're one of the best band I ever see live.:) I hope you vote Sun Domingo.

Muertepop records celebrates its birthday with the first cdr release "To the naked Eye"; The musician Mark Hamn tries to aggregate the nine tracks, plus a bonus video track, around the same idea: the involution of post-modern humanity in the globalisation age, or more simply, a sour consideration about our days. Electroacoustic, glitch, field recordings and guitars remember that all of us have to change and avoid a little part of this ecological tragedy that is involving our earth. We have just to open our eyes!
