The project of Ithaca, New York’s Alec Koone, Balam Acab -- named after a Mayan demigod who created rainbows by piercing clouds with arrows -- began as an experimental noise project while he was still a Pennsylvania high-school student. He resuscitated the name a few years later as a music student at Ithaca College, incorporating dubstep, U.K. bass, and R&B elements into his atmospheric sounds, drawing comparisons to <a href="spotify:artist:31uyAcnY0kjjKKIQZMKX4i">Grouper</a> as well as drag/witch house artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:09CJcG6ndtL82D8x9VxaeT">Salem</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:64AV09dDdCGBGv11QlGOJN">White Ring</a>. Balam Acab's critically acclaimed debut EP, See Birds, was released in 2010 by the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tri+Angle%22">Tri Angle</a> imprint. The EP was reissued early in the following year, while Koone's debut album, Wander/Wonder, arrived in September 2011. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
