Constellations

Constellations

Balmorhea's previous album was intensely physical, exploring the freedom and isolation of settlers of an untamed frontier. By contrast, Constellations shifts focus to the cosmos and beyond, meditating solemnly on the mystical and metaphysical. The disarming simplicity of the tracks proves that Balmorhea doesn't need dense arrangements full of 180-degree turns to craft deeply affecting compositions.
