El Dorado

Driving 128bpm A minor western cue built on acoustic guitar, hand percussion and strings, with a Spanish-tinged sorrow that matches its 'tears of blood' title. Rustic and mournful but propulsive enough to carry movement across open country.

Warm, mid-slow 80bpm Americana underscore in B flat, layering acoustic guitar, mandolin, slide guitar, bass, shaker and strings into a heartfelt, letter-writing tone. The most openly inspiring cue here — reflective at the outset with room to lift.

Dark, slow-burning 64bpm western tension bed with electric and slide guitar, dobro, sparse percussion and a sustained drone. Ominous and unresolved despite the title's suggestion of release, holding dread rather than releasing it.

Anticipatory 75bpm E minor cue with mandolin, cello and strings against dobro, slide guitar and a light drum pulse, suggesting the clock-watching of its title. Suspenseful and introspective, moving forward without ever fully opening up.

Shortest cue on the album at 1:12: a taut E minor western sting bed of banjo, cello, strings, slide guitar, dobro and electric guitar, with no tagged tempo and a stalking, menacing feel. Built for a hard cut to a vengeful stare.

The most driving cue here at 120bpm in B minor, with congas and shaker under acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass, slide guitar, dobro and strings — a clear Mexican-Americana crossover. Determined and forward-leaning rather than sad, suiting purposeful travel.

Mid-slow 78bpm D minor cue mixing mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, slide guitar, dobro, shaker and drums, sitting between suspense and a wary optimism. Rustic and character-driven, good for a flawed protagonist in motion.

Untempoed, somber F sharp minor lament with mandolin and banjo drifting over a sustained drone and electric guitar. Loss-focused and static rather than pulsed, ideal for grief without forward motion.

Intimate 71bpm E minor reflection with mandolin and piano over drone, brushed percussion and light drums, evoking a nostalgic sense of place. Gentle and unhurried, the warmest of the album's slow cues.

At 136bpm the fastest cue on the album, pairing fiddle and mandolin with strings, percussion and drone for a wistful yet quick-footed E minor western feel. Emotional undercurrent with real momentum, suited to travel and pursuit.

Brief, bleak E minor underscore with mandolin, shaker and light percussion over a low drone and no tagged tempo. Sparse and hopeless in tone, sitting well beneath dialogue at a story's lowest point.

A parting-themed A minor cue where flute joins mandolin, percussion and drone, giving the album's most open, airy texture. Somber and reflective with a farewell feel, unhurried and untempoed.
