Portland, Oregon band Balto are streaming their forthcoming release Strangers. Fans of My Morning Jacket and Dear Tick, will really appreciate the Americana/Psych/Alt Country sounds of the band. The full-length comes out on February 24th via Totally Reality Meltdown.

Quote from frontman Daniel Sheron:

“Strangers feels like a whirlpool to me – when I look back at the songs, to the many months that went into writing and arranging them, and to story after story packed into each verse, I realize now that much of the work circles a specific concept – namely the struggle against isolation, both from the self and from those we love.

Beyond the lofty brain stuff and the banality of declaring the modern world a bleak place, I look back on the most fun I’ve ever had making recorded music, and the most fully-realized work we’ve ever done. Can’t wait to take it on the road.”
