“Yellowstone“ by The Post

“Yellowstone” by The Post is a lovely acoustic folk track about embracing the unknown and forging your own path. The Post, an Australian indie folk duo comprised of Esther Bertram and Alasdair Henry, crafts an intimate and moving sonic landscape with this track. With a compelling narrative and understated, yet dynamic, production, “Yellowstone” captivates the listener and pulls them into the story. The clear artistic vision and impressive collaborative chemistry between this duo is palpable in every layer of the track.

Lightly played acoustic guitar opens the song as subtle cello notes move back and forth across the arrangement. The raw and welcoming vocals offer visceral descriptions of the landscape, mentioning sunlight, morning mist, snow, and shadows, that effortlessly paint a picture in the listener’s mind. This track is about letting go of your fears in your search for freedom and satisfaction. Lines like “I surrender at the Yellowstone” and “put your fears aside, they are old and don’t belong” describe this journey perfectly. It can be easy to hold on to your fears out of habit, because you have this perception that they protect you. But surrendering to the things you truly want is the best way to get to the life you’ve always dreamed of.

The acoustic guitar picks up and begins strumming after the sparse beginning of the track, and a kick drum is introduced as the cello begins to move more. After the second chorus, a hauntingly beautiful string solo immerses you in the sounds of the atmosphere, offering comfort and inspiration to abandon your fears.
