Digging Into Balue

It’s strange that we don’t hear more from New Mexico musicians, which is why I really wanted to get you all into Balue. The group just released a really great album, Wavy Daze, which is perfect for those looking for a bedroom listening experience. There’s hints of shimmering indiepop, but also touching upon some of the more modern reverb-laden pop writing. I love the number below a great deal; it’s sort of dreamy, but also rather catchy…it sounds really familiar, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe if you play it you can tell me what it sounds like to you.

Enjoy This Track From Balue

Thanks to our amigos over at Fleeting Youth Records here in Austin, we’ve been hearing about all kinds of great new bands from different parts of the country. Today we bring you new signee to the label in the form of New Mexico based pop group Balue. The music created here is like a mixture of 1st album era MGMT mixed with shoe-gazy pop bands like Painted Palms. Somehow these elements blend perfectly together to create some special moments like in this song “Charming Flow”.

Pick up new album Quiet Dreamer on June 24th via Fleeting Youth Records.
