Tex La Homa
Tex La Homa  is a Dorset, UK-based post-rock project formed in the year 2000 by Matthew Shaw (guitar, keyboards, vocals, other instruments). The music combines "soft vocals with sort of distortion, surrounded by soft melodies, guitars and a bit of electronics to create almost pop-like modern ballads". History
Tex La Homa released their first album in 2001 (Dazzle Me with Transience). The second Tex La Homa album, If Just Today Were to Be My Entire Life was released on Talitres records and on Hydrid Electric Records in the USA. Tex La Homa toured in late 2003 and into 2004 in the England, Denmark, USA, France, Spain, Switzerland, Ireland and Scotland. In 2008 Acuarela released the acclaimed album Little Flashes of Sunlight on a Cold Dark Sea. In 2010 Tex La Homa collaborates with the Italian band Sparkle in Grey for a split release on Grey Sparkle, Black Fading and Musica di Un Certo Livello. The LP is entitled Whale Heart, Whale Heart.

"Scarily lovely and the only tunes released this week with the power to stop time" (NME) 

"Unlike many other artists who incorporate field recordings into their records, the sources here don’t jar the listener back to reality – they’re stitched into the fabric of this new other reality that Tex La Homa have created. And that’s one this record’s main feats" (Scott McKeating, Foxy Digitalis)
