The Madrean

Caleb Bratcher The brass takes this album to another level. Hearing those slow, sludgey slams while the brass sings its own song is just a listening experience like no other. I'll definitely be recommending this album to everyone I can. Favorite track: Tahquitz.

Nate Wilson This entire album has a real southwest, western feel to it. The brass truly compliments the often haunting guitar melodies. This song in particular, not only being the first track, ended up being, in my opinion, the best. Favorite track: The Dawn Thief.

Michael Reilly The immersive scale of this superb album mirrors the impressive landscape it represents – a region of unique flora, grand vistas, and natural beauty. There's so much to explore in these great compositions – expect to get seriously (and very happily) lost in the process. Favorite track: El Pistolero.

  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Join the journey of The Madrean, a collection of eight thematically linked compositions paying homage to the Madrean region of North America, the arid landmass spanning the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. With band members having spent their respective formative years in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and California, the Madrean Region is an inescapable internal and external space for Whale Fall, and the intersection of its urban and natural environs—from L.A. freeway overpasses to majestic Sierra peaks—serve as both the backdrop and the foreground of the music of The Madrean as well as the accompanying visual imagery.

    Download includes digital version of the vinyl LP booklet art (created by Emmy-award winning designer Jordan W. Lee) which features eight pieces of original artwork, each representing a track and region of The Madrean.
