About

Coming straight outta Austin, Texas, six-piece instrumental outfit Balmorhea is playing one night in Shanghai on On-Stage's fine soundsystem. Pitchfork called them "a bit like Sigur Rós with an interest in understatement." They've dropped five full-length albums of rich, layered tunes. Speaking on one of those, The New Yorker said "It is an exemplary experiment in restraint, lush with a slow-burning, wordless, and ambient Americana that manages to captivate while avoiding the histrionics of its post-rock forebears." Tickets are 120rmb on SmartTicket.
