Side A: Not So Far Away
Side B1: Works
Side B2: Fragments


Berlin based live music collective Spleen is the latest musical surprise to surface on new imprint Back To The Balearics as they drop part one in their musical odyssey ‘Fusionary’.

Opting for live jams and instrumentation over computer-based syncopation, their music has a strange yet organic flow to it, which is both hypnotic and rhythmic. Think Kraut influenced, psychedelic dub funk with a touch of alt pop and you’ll be on the right road, but still miles away.

Music is better than words...Spleen prove that.

LTD edition vinyl with beautiful printed sleeves.

Back To the Balearics 2014

Maricopa returns to Back To The Balearics to complete his stunning opus, Pastel Love. And he continues where he left off building deeply textured songs packed full of simple melodies that really shine. His music opts for subtle feelings and passing vibes over the more obvious structures of ‘dance music’. The release of Part One led to a number of comparisons with the early work of Aphex Twin as well as more contemporary producers such as Four Tet. Such comparisons don’t come lightly, but Pastel Love demonstrates that a rare musical talent has arrived. The release again has beautiful printed covers and looks as good as it sounds. Viva Maricopa!

Max Essa – Your Carnival Sounds Like This EP
Back To The Balearics 004

A1: All Is Not Lost
A2: Complicated Lover
B1: Destination You
B2: Your Carnival Sounds Like This

Balearic maestro Max Essa joins the dots seamlessly between the ambient imaginings of Sakamoto, the Krautrock rhythms of Neu and the beach pop of Chris Rea , while making them all dance together like waves on the beach. 

This is some of his very best work to date and demonstrates a producer at home at the controls and a real musician with a vision. 

Your carnival sounds like this…
