Charalambides

Charalambides are a musical group originally from Houston, Texas, USA and lately of Austin, Texas. Formed in 1991 by Tom Carter and Christina Carter, adding Jason Bill and Heather Leigh Murray, they have followed in the footsteps of other Texas psychedelic music artists such as the 13th Floor Elevators, Red Crayola, and Jandek.

Their music contains elements typical of psychedelic music such as reverb, extended instrumental jamming and the use of found sounds.

In addition to several major releases on Kranky, Eclipse, Time-Lag Records, etc... they have many small edition CD-R's released on their own Wholly-Other label and other small labels. Some of which have later been re-issued (Our Bed is Green, and Historic Sixth Ward for example).

Core members, Tom Carter and Christina Carter are standalone performing and recording artists in their own right, releasing albums on Kranky and Eclipse Records, as well as several small edition CD-R's.
