   About controlled storms
Controlled Storms is an experimental indie-rock band from Philadelphia, PA. On stage, the three members shuffle instruments, moving from the standard drums, bass, and electric guitar to dual basses, acoustic guitar, keyboards, sampler, and the occasional trumpet or balafon. Although some songs have vocals, the band creates moods and tells stories without a voice or particular instrument taking the lead. Controlled Storms songs often conjure up elements of post-rock, progressive, ambient, jazz, and world music, but their members have referred to their elusive style as "Paranormal Blues" or "Weightless Metal." They released a full-length album, "Abandoned Amusement Parks," in 2008 and successfully embarked on their national "From First Flights" tour in June of 2009.

Dear friend
We are so happy to announce



NEW ALBUM IS OUT NOW!!!





Our new album "Herbarium" is out now on CdBaby (MP3 so far, physical CD is on its way).


Diverse palette of styles (post-rock, ambient, electronica, trip-hop, with elements of noise, dub, neoclassic and free improvisation), united by cinematic, slightly pensive mood.


«Herbarium» is called so because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here, only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river, contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so on.

All compositions are united by Poostosh sense of music – mostly pensive, spatial, tender and experimental. There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let your soul look over our HERBARIUM.
