All Is Wild, All Is Silent

Balmorhea

Expansive, cinematic post-rock that trades electric guitars for banjos, cellos, and pianos. A sweeping instrumental ode to the American frontier and open spaces.

A rugged yet graceful exploration of solitude and the vastness of the natural world.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition in 'Settler' where the rhythm section enters, elevating a delicate piano melody into a sweeping, symphonic anthem.
The haunting, skeletal banjo plucking on 'March 4, 1831' that feels like a rediscovered 19th-century field recording.
The eight-minute slow-burn of 'Harm and Boon' as it layers violin and cello into a dense, emotional wall of sound.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
