On this February 14th Australian indie-folk duo THE POST presents to listeners their most emotional work with “Yellowstone”. The lyrics for “Yellowstone” emerged from the pen of singer-songwriter Esther Bertram who numbers this song among her absolute favorites from her vast collection. The song connects the bravery needed to confront fears with a cleansing fire which transforms both mind and landscape much like the hit show “Yellowstone”.
The musical collaboration between singer Esther and cellist Alasdair Henry generates an emotive cinematic indie-folk musical experience through their beautiful vocal performance and haunting cello melodies. The track opens using soft acoustic instruments and unchanging bass patterns which support Esther’s powerful singing in every verse. Throughout the track an instrumental break shifts into faster rhythms which add richness and force to the music along with Alasdair’s cello sections that create an expansive openness fitting the freedom message of the song.
The Yellowstone song functions as a musical support system for individuals who need to leave behind stagnant elements of the past. Through its poetic lyrics the song provides time for self-reflection and empowerment against fears together with anger and established habits. The dual residence of Australia and Europe between Alasdair and Esther motivates them to produce music by mixing unprocessed everyday experiences with innovative cello techniques and grungy powerful rhythms. The musical expressions from this group illustrate both the picturesque and difficult aspects of individual development by maintaining emotional authenticity throughout innovative passages.
The emotional musical composition “Yellowstone” becomes an anthem that embodies power while exploring characters who transform and rise anew because of its momentous importance for those entering new situations.
