Ombre is the collaboration of ethereal vocalist
Julianna Barwick and eccentric electronic producer/musician
Helado Negro. After
Negro discovered
Barwick's music via MySpace in 2009, the two felt a creative connection and embarked on a joint tour a year later. Not yet acquainted,
Barwick and
Negro bonded on the road, endeavoring to expand their cooperative relationship to the studio. They began recording as
Ombre in summer 2010, combining
Barwick's captivating harmonies (and showing off multi-instrumentalist skills not revealed in her solo work) with
Negro's summery ambience, and releasing the album
Believe You Me for the Asthmatic Kitty label two years later. ~ Chrysta Cherrie
