balmorhea - 'pilgrim'

Balmorhea are an instrumentals-only guitar band from Austin, Texas. They can't be described as post-rock as they are far too minimal to have the crunching 15 minute guitar solos but then again too intricate to be described as ambient. Their influences draw heavily from classical as well as pop and experimental and if pushed I would bracket them alongside Sigur Ros or perhaps Godspeed You Black Emperor. This is the last track from their 2012 album, Stranger and is a sublime piece of musicianship.
