Singer-songwriter-guitarists Tyler Ramsey and Carl Broemel (of My Morning Jacket) have unveiled “Celestun“, their collaborative debut album, which will arrive January 15, 2026, on their own Duo Quest Records. In advance of this, they’ve released a double A-sided single of the title track ‘Celestun‘ and ‘Nevermind‘, which we feature today.
‘Nevermind,’ sees Broemel expressing his frustration with 21st-century overload while extolling the virtues of putting the world on pause to better find peace and power within himself as he says: “That song came from the realization a couple of years ago that maybe it’s okay to sit part of this new era out and take a second to figure out how I can really be helpful. I just felt so much pressure and fear. I decided I’m not going to look at the news for a couple of days, and I’m sorry, but I’m not going to feel bad about it. I’m going to recharge and make sure I’m on the right track with everything else going on in my life. And then I’ll get smart and try to help out where I can.”
Ramsey and Broemel first met when Band of Horses were supporting My Morning Jacket, and later discussed recording during a pair of well-received 2019 tours together. Time, as ever, was the issue, until COVID intervened and the compulsory lockdown allowed them to begin exchanging tracks.
