Currently the boys are busy in the studio recording new original songs for their first album according to their official blog. I hope they’ll be able to use their awesome musical chops to create some unique and cleverly arranged material to follow up on their previous efforts. Until they are ready with that, here is a convenient collection of all the cover tracks released so far on their soundcloud page (6 in total):

Balance and the Traveling Sounds – “Departure” free EP

Rune Johnsrud — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 11:00:12 +0000

Modern soul music played live with real instruments is pretty rare these days, which is really a shame, because when it sounds as good as this, it is truly a pleasure to be enjoyed. This free 6 track EP is an excellent release from a band that I hope will continue to bring us more of the same in the future, and I really look forward to hearing whatever they come up with next.
