Border Radio

by Peter Rundquist

This album unfolds like a series of wide, unspoken scenes—music shaped by distance, late-night highways, and the quiet emotional weight of rural places.

Built from pedal steel, electric guitar, and drifting ambient textures, the songs move slowly and deliberately, favoring mood over momentum. There are echoes of country and Americana here, but filtered through a cinematic lens—closer to soundtrack music than traditional song form. Melodies emerge, linger, then dissolve back into atmosphere.

Much of the album was written with the idea of night listening in mind: the kind of music that accompanies long drives, empty rooms, or the glow of a radio after midnight. It draws inspiration from the emotional restraint of instrumental storytelling—where the absence of words allows listeners to project their own histories and landscapes onto the sound.

This is music for solitude, for reflection, and for places that exist somewhere between memory and motion.
