Interesting Facts: The Duo's Return to Deutsche Grammophon
- Classical Home: The Wind is Balmorhea's second album to be released on Deutsche Grammophon, a label most famous for its historical classical music recordings. This placement highlights the group’s recognition within the modern neoclassical movement.
- Inspiration: The entire album is a concept piece centered on the wind—a force that is both ancient and ephemeral, invisible yet capable of transformation and destruction. The track titles and overall atmosphere reflect this elemental theme.
- Songwriting Duo: All songs were written by the core members, Rob Lowe & Michael A. Muller (ASCAP), a collaboration that has defined the group's distinct, intimate sound for over a decade.
- Unique Titles: Many track titles on the album are single, evocative words or phrases, such as "LANDLESSNESS," "THE MYTH," and the Roman numeral "V," adding to the project's mysterious, poetic nature. The opening and closing tracks cleverly frame the album with natural imagery: "ONE DAY DAWNS IN YOUR RIGHT EYE" and "NIGHT FALLS IN YOUR LEFT."
