BALLOON ASTRONOMY

US act BALLOON ASTRONOMY is the creative vehicle for Jim Ledger and Glenn Little, two long time friends who have a common passion for music in general and progressive rock in particular. Enlisting some aid by musical friends, this self-titled CD is the first production to be released by this two-man project.

Balloon Astronomy's self titled debut album is a nice blend of singer/songwriter oriented material and symphonic art rock. The compositions are distinctly melodic throughout, and more often than not the moods and atmospheres explored easily justify a description as melancholic. An album for those with a taste for the gentler side of the art rock universe in general, and in particular those among them with an affection for frequent use of acoustic based, stripped down themes throughout an album.
