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 music artists such as The 13th Floor Elevators, The Red Krayola, and Jandek.

Their music contains elements typical of psychedelic music such as reverb, extended jamming and the use of found sounds, as well as elements of noise, avant garde, folk, and drone music.

In addition to several major releases on labels such as Kranky, Eclipse Records, and Time-Lag Records, they have also released many small edition CD-Rs 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-Rs.

Their name is pronounced “ha-ra-lam-bee-deez”. It roots from Greek language and means like “happiness-sprayer”.

    Un disco pieno di psichedelia e fantasmi acustici, ipnotico e al tempo stesso carezzevolo . -.-.-.-.-. om hari om .....

    Exile is good but a bit too long, some tracks are quite inferior to the rest and with such length i wouldn't mind if they were cut off.
