Darkest Before Dawn

“Darkest Before Dawn” begins with a slow, lonely mix of acoustic guitar, slide guitar, and harmonica. But then it transforms into a bright, upbeat folk arrangement featuring banjo, hand percussion, drums, and more. Could be useful if you’re trying to juxtapose two scenes with a single song.

These Restless Bones

A feel-good, pop-folk tune, “These Restless Bones” features a crisp mix of banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle, bass, and drums. Use the song’s cheerful character to brighten the mood in your project.

Victory March

“Victory March” is full of character and varying textures. The lo-fi folk tune is built around a twangy banjo riff accompanied by upright piano, electric organ, double bass, and hand percussion. And to keep things interesting, the song’s bright, friendly refrain is bridged by a darker build-up.

Daybreak

A friendly, upbeat tune reminiscent of bluegrass, “Daybreak” features folk trademarks — including acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, upright bass, and more. The song opens with enthusiasm, transitions to a half-tempo bridge, and finally returns to a high-energy arrangement before ending.

The Sun Will Rise

“The Sun Will Rise” is a punchy, bright folk song. Warm acoustic instruments establish earthiness and authenticity, while an upbeat melody creates a sense of hopefulness.

Fire, Frenzy

After a brief intro featuring acoustic guitar, “Fire, Frenzy” erupts into, well, a frenzy. Guitar, banjo, drums, and bass create a fast and furious bluegrass theme until the song tapers to a slower arrangement, when glockenspiel and accordion join the mix. Then, rinse and repeat.

The Captain

Inspired by a sunset in the majestic Yosemite National Park, “The Captain” is a slow-paced, big-sounding, ambient tune with western elements—such as slide guitar, banjo, and tambourine—throughout.

Ghost River

“Ghost River” begins with a little folky guitar pickin’ before banjo, piano, organ, bass, and drums join in. Then things escalate with cymbal crashes, quick guitar riffs, dissonant organ chords, and more.

Follower

Mixing classical and digital, “Follower” opens with a haunting piano theme before organ, electronic percussion, and other elements join in, completing the melody and rhythm. Then things taper back down as banjo enters to finish out the song. This track is a seamless loop.

Kala

A fresh melding of acoustic instruments (including ukulele, banjo, and guitar) and electronic beats, “Kala” combines some of the best qualities of analog and digital music.
