Tyler Ramsey from Band Of Horses – has today released Celestun, his collaborative album with Carl Broemer from My Morning Jacket +  the focus track ‘Flying Things’ featuring The Secret Sisters

TYLER RAMSEY is a singer-songwriter and unique fingerstyle guitarist who has built a rich catalogue
rooted in modern folk and indie rock. He refined his sound while living in the western mountainous
region of North Carolina, where he studied local styles of folk and drew inspiration from country blues
musicians who traveled through the area. He gained recognition as lead guitarist and songwriter of
Band Of Horses for 10 years, contributing heavily to their GRAMMY Award nominated Infinite Arms
(2010) alongside Mirage Rock (2012) and Why Are You OK? (2016) while continuing to make his own
music including A Long Dream About Swimming Across The Sea (2008) and The Valley Wind (2011).

New Lost Ages (2024) which was recorded in Seattle, produced by Phil Ek (Father John Misty, Fleet
Foxes) and was hailed by Americana UK as an “indie-folk gem”. The New Lost Ages album is part of an
ongoing sonic quest, meticulously wandering across the musical landscape with an undulating tone of
indie and folk stylings, balancing moments of introspection with grand, sweeping arrangements.
Most recently, Tyler has partnered with Carl Broemel (guitarist with My Morning Jacket) to release their
full-length debut Celestun, out now. Having been friends and occasional touring partners for well over a
decade, the album is a marvel of interwoven musicianship and a testament to their camaraderie.
Though conceived in the most modern way possible, the album has the feel of a lost private classic,
with songs akin to the work of iconic acoustic guitarists like Clarence White, John Fahey, Leo Kottke,
Michael Hedges, Bert Jansch and John Renbourn. The album’s original objectives had all been
instrumental, but the natural flow of sessions led the duo to begin incorporating vocal tracks. Stark yet
intricately arranged songs such as the cinematic Nevermind and Flying Things (featuring additional
vocals from GRAMMY Award nominated siblings The Secret Sisters) and an incandescent version of Neil
Young’s Sail Away are rich with dazzling dexterity and grace; Ramsey’s nimble fingerstyle picking and
Broemel’s classically trained virtuosity aligning to create a predominantly instrumental song cycle of
rustic beauty and atmospheric power. Music at its most elemental, Celestun sees Tyler Ramsey and Carl
Broemel stripping away artifice to unlock and explore deeply personal themes of wanderlust and
familial love, of fellowship and communal adventure.
