With The Torso Tapes, Baal & Mortimer release their second album (after Deixis, 2020 on Bureau B). A mini-LP: eight new tracks, including two short instrumental interludes. Baal & Mortimer is Alexandra Gr?bler. She grew up in D?sseldorf and lives in Berlin. Baal & Mortimer is a play of eccentric folk - from a closed future, a Canterbury of the 23rd century. The vocals are layered in several voices, orchestral, modulating harmonically, ensnaring the instruments. Sounds that breathe the grace of folk instruments, horn and bellows, bagpipes and flute, piano, water organ and fiddle. Baal & Mortimer are masters of seduction, they enchant us, they come very close to us, dance around us and dance with us, embrace us, and offer the most beautiful comfort.
