Artist Biography by

Insular experimental duo Charalambides have created a self-contained world of sound since their murky beginnings in the early '90s. Over the course of more than 20 years and dozens of limited-run releases, the group explored places both spiritual and earthly, their improvisations built on Christina Carter's haunted vocalizations and Tom Carter's unhurried guitar ruminations. The Charalambides avoided allegiance with any number of musical movements over the years, though elements of their sound were in line with various different scenes that came and went. Instead, the group existed largely as an entity unto themselves, exploring their personal visions of expression and refracting them on stellar records released over the years on Kranky, Siltbreeze, Time-Lag, and many other labels.
