Texas based duo Balmorhea are back with new music! After an intensive five-year touring phase, the two founders of Balmorhea, Rob Lowe and Michael A. Muller, took a break from touring to improvise and experiment together again. The Wind was inspired by meditations on the natural world and its fragility, an ancient story about a saint who carried the wind into an empty French valley, and thoughts of climate activist Greta Thunberg, who crossed the Atlantic on the catamaran La Vagabonde. It draws a journey through an evocative soundscape created by echoes of prayer flags fluttering in a Himalayan breeze, an old harmonium, a pipe organ, a trio of double basses, wind chimes and beguiling guitar and piano instruments are touched. The Wind marks both a return to Balmorhea’s original constellation as a duo and a new beginning as their first album to be released by Deutsche Grammophon.
