Short, eerie, and shadowy. Sparse instrumentation leaves room for tension — like waiting for something that never quite arrives. A beautiful exercise in restraint and mood-building.

No Lights

Tense and tightly coiled, “Trapped” pulses with an undercurrent of urgency. Layers of synths and percussive loops lock into a slow-building groove that never fully resolves — like pacing in a locked room with mirrored walls. Brooding, cinematic, and full of emotional pressure.

Trapped

Hints of gospel and post-rock combine with a triumphant, swelling arrangement. Builds like a sunrise: subtle at first, then radiant and warm. A standout for its sense of emotional lift.

Salvation

Weightless and melodic, with cosmic textures and a mellow, funk-laced backbone. The perfect name — it truly sounds like gliding through space in a shiny silver suit. Think Air meets Ratatat.

Space Walker

Playful, warped, and a little sinister. Twangy surf guitars and carousel-like motifs swirl into something that could soundtrack a David Lynch dream sequence. Psychedelic with teeth.

Harpie's Bizarre [Remix]

One of the airiest tracks on the album. Dreamy pads and chorus-soaked guitar echo across a dusty, lo-fi beat. Feels like watching sunlight ripple through water in slow motion.

Pipe Dreams

A swaggering, dub-funk jam that lives up to its name. Dripping in wah, delay, and spring reverb, this track feels like a sci-fi chase scene on roller skates. Super tactile production — you can practically feel the knobs turning in real time.

Groovy Gravy

The heart of the album — steady, reflective, and emotionally open. A chilled groove supports introspective guitar melodies. It’s understated, but quietly devastating.

Quiet Pulse

Boards of Santa fe

Bailrigg returns with a striking left-turn: moving away from the beatless ambient soundscapes of earlier releases, their latest track dives into a hypnotic, percussive world inspired by Four Tet and Minority. Intricate rhythms, fractured samples and a warm, driving pulse weave into a detailed sound collage that feels both intimate and dance-floor ready. It’s a bold step forward, expanding Bailrigg’s palette while keeping the deep, emotive core that defines their music.
