Last week we brought you “Apart,” the first taste of 20-year old Ithaca resident Alec Koone’s first album under his musical moniker Balam Acab, Wander / Wonder. Unfortunately the release date for the album has been pushed back until September 6th, but in exchange for your disappointment, the first official single from the album, the beautifully haunting “Oh, Why” is being given away as a free download. You may have picked it up last month when it was originally put out, but we thought we’d just give a heads up to those of you new to Balam Acab, since his star is still rising, and each day morew people are turned on to his music.
Grab the track below, and make sure you don’t miss Wander / Wonder when it’s released on Tri Angle records on September 7th.
