Hounslow Borough Library…. Shhhh…
 
Three library assistants are quietly swapping CD’s and talking music on their lunch breaks. Whispered words such as classical, minimalist, hip-hop, cinematic, experimental, found-sound, samples and loops fill staff-room coffee mugs.
 
A disused SHED is found and converted into a permanent rehearsal and recording space. It is within these soundproofed wooden walls, at twilight, where Ex Libras are born. It is within these walls where their first releases are written and recorded. And it is within these walls where Ex Libras continue to hone and create their introspective and immersive sound.
 
Ex Libras could be broadly filed under ‘Alt Rock’. But why opt for the traditional when you can invent and distribute nouveaux-faux musical labels such as ‘Aggressive Ambient’ and ‘Post Break-Beat’. Confusing…? It’s hard to find a better fit.
 
Refused to be contained by traditional boundaries Ex Libras’ passionate live shows create an atmosphere that captivates every audience. With inventive use of live sampling the band become larger than three. The band’s melodic finesse remains unparalleled amongst their peers. Never pretentious, Ex Libras are an equal mix of ‘groove’ and ‘orchestral’.
 
From their first release, Radar, to their most recent release, Teenage Eyes, Ex Libras have consistently made an impact on the press, both printed and online.
