Tyler Ramsey & Carl Broemel: Finding Celestun in the Space Between the Notes

About this episode

Tyler Ramsey and Carl Broemel discuss their collaborative album 'Celestun' and the creative process behind it.

This week on No Simple Road, we sit down with Tyler Ramsey and Carl Broemel to talk about their stunning new collaborative album, Celestun. Known for their deeply expressive songwriting and textured guitar work, Tyler (formerly of Band of Horses) and Carl (of My Morning Jacket) join Aaron, Mel, and Apple for a conversation that drifts beautifully between craft, connection, and creative trust. We dive into the making of Celestun — how the project came together, the spirit of collaboration that shaped the songs, and the quiet magic that happens when two seasoned musicians lean into space rather than noise. Tyler and Carl share stories about writing, recording, and finding inspiration in place, nature, and long-standing musical friendships. The conversation explores the balance between solo artistry and partnership, the evolution of American indie folk and roots rock, and what it means to create from a place of patience in a fast-moving music world. At its core, this episode is about creative chemistry and honoring the journey that leads artists back to one another. If you’re a fan of indie folk, Americana, My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, or thoughtful songwriting collaborations…
