The exercise I offered my friend the other night was the question: what current band or act, if they were to break up or disappear today, would you be most excited to have return in 10 years?

THE BALUSTRADE ENSEMBLE
Renewed Brilliance

RENEWED BRILLIANCE
Free-flowing rivers pour out from Renewed Brilliance. Golden, crisp notes jet along the only stream there really is; the stream of infinity, where the music never ends. Their tails dive into the deep first, splashing into waterfalls that contain nothing but sunken sounds. The translucent, harmonic light of an unfamiliar, alien sun glints over the water, sparkling like a thousand brilliantly coloured gems as the water catches its light. Yes, this world looks so similar to our own, but it feels very different. You haven’t been here before.

Renewed Brilliance, the second album from The Balustrade Ensemble, is the sound of infinity. A gorgeous, ever-present sound opens previously unknown doorways that then lead into new, alternate dimensions. They’re only accessible through music. As you listen to the music, strange, non-conventional thoughts swirl around inside your imagination.
