Peals (Walking Field album release show!) and Romantic States
Saturday, May 18 at the Baltimore Museum of Art Spring House
Free afternoon show from 4 – 6 PM
The concert will take place on the Spring House lawn at the west side of the BMA (near the intersection of Wyman Park Drive). If it rains, performances will happen inside the Spring House (occupancy in the building is limited).
Peals is a new band led by William Cashion (Future Islands) and Bruce Willen (Double Dagger). Formed in early 2012, the duo have turned inward for their debut Walking Field, crafting a meditative and exploratory headphone panorama of the highest order. From the first moment, they set aside the basses of their high-profile post-punk outfits for acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, tambourines, toy pianos, and other sonic tools in pursuit of a stripped-down, warm living-room atmosphere. Their debut album Walking Field will be released in May 2013 on Thrill Jockey Records.
The Spring House of Dairy sits on the western end of the museum’s property. Designed by acclaimed architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe in 1812, the small building was once located in what is now Roland Park at the former Oakland estate. The building was originally situated over a running spring using the cool waters to preserve milk and other perishables. When John Russell Pope was designing the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1929, the Spring House was moved from Roland Park and reconstructed at it’s current location next to the BMA’s contemporary wing.
