In “Bloom,” Tone Ranger—otherwise known as Alex Simon—takes us on an instrumental journey into the heart of the Southwest, an ambitious undertaking that connects past and present, tradition and innovation. As a composer and multi-instrumentalist, Simon has long found his inspiration in remote landscapes, and in this track, he combines the timeless allure of flamenco guitar with experimental electronic elements, evoking a sense of space and place that feels grounded yet otherworldly.
