Balam Acab is the project of Alec Jeffrey Koone, a producer and musician born on April 14, 1991, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Known for ethereal, hazy textures and immersive, dreamlike soundscapes, Balam Acab helped shape the witch house aesthetic that emerged in the early 2010s. His breakthrough came with the See Birds EP in 2010 on Tri Angle Records, followed by the full-length Wander/Wonder in 2011. Since then, Koone has released a string of projects and experiments, often via Bandcamp, including Child Death (2015) on Orchid Tapes and several self-released works. He continues to influence artists across electronic music with a focus on atmospheric mood, texture, and a tactile, lo-fi intimacy.
