In the Shadow of the Holy Mountain

Blind Pilot

Lush indie folk defined by shimmering vibraphone and warm trumpet swells. A patient, mountainous record about returning home after a long time away.

It's like a warm blanket and a view of the Cascades after a long hike.

A grounded sense of peace and spiritual homecoming set against a lush, natural backdrop.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the trumpet enters on Jacaranda, acting less like a brass instrument and more like a second, wordless vocalist.
The rhythmic interplay between the vibraphone and the upright bass on Pocket Knife, creating a delicate, clockwork momentum.
The expansive, five-minute closing arc of Believe Me, where the arrangement slowly swells into a cinematic finale.
