Alhambra, the highly anticipated debut album from
Austin-based orchestral pop ensemble Mother Falcon is now available for the first
time nationally, as a digital download through Rampant Arts.
The album has been the recipient of much praise around their native Austin, and
with the album now available nationally the band is sure to develop the same
devoted following on a larger scale. You can purchase your copy of
Alhambra on itunes and most other digital download services.
Mother Falcon has received as many accolades
locally for their innovative film scoring as for their electric live rock club
performances. The 18-piece collective has become known for making full use of the large
size of their lineup, which includes several multi-instrumentalists and
vocal contributions from the majority of its members. In just two years
together, they have managed to craft a signature soundscape. Their
blending of whirling horns, a swelling string section and traditional rock elements has
resulted in a refreshingly original act equally at home in a 1920s
speakeasy as in a modern day arena.
They recently released the video for their new single "Just To See Her Smile." This is the second video released from Alhambra.
While the first video from the record, for the track "Alligator
Teeth", was based
completely off of a live performance, this new video
features more of a backstory set to the narrative of a school play. The
band is also giving away a free download of the non-album track "Pennies" on their
Facebook page, and you can watch a series of album teasers
for Alhambra here. In addition to preparing for the release of
their debut album, the band is also currently tracking the score to the new
documentary Star Nation. Stay tuned for more announcements as Mother
Falcon supports their debut release, and prepares for a very busy
SXSW!
