Bio

Albinobeach is an instrumental rock band from Johannesburg, South Africa, formed in 2005. The band’s line-up includes drummer Garrick Van Der Tuin, guitarist Ian Finch and bass guitarist Kalin Pashaliev. To date, albinobeach has released two full-length albums and an EP.

Initially a four-piece group, albinobeach went instrumental in 2006 after singer Francois Du Preez exited the band due to hearing difficulties caused by a short illness. At that time, albinobeach were recording their self-titled debut EP and the remaining members decided to release it as an instrumental offering. The EP attracted the attention of North Carolina independent label Forgotten Empire Records, which released the EP in 2007.

Although albinobeach’s music is often described as 'post-rock', the band has experimented with a mixture of genres such as psychedelic rock, space rock, noise rock, metal, Afrobeat, dub, reggae and electronica. In late 2013, after a three-year hiatus, albinobeach began a series of improv sessions with guitarist Nenad Djelic, drummer Boris Tzevtanov and violinist Waldo Alexander. The sessions led to a full-length album titled ‘Cacophonic’, self-released in 2015.

In 2016, albinobeach – now comprising Pashaliev, Finch and Tzvetanov – began writing songs for a full-length album. A year later, Van Der Tuin rejoined the band to engineer, mix and write and record drums for the album. The album, titled 'The Ladder' (smarturl.it/theladderalbum), was released in November 2020.
