The Almond & the Seahorse is a soundtrack album by the Welsh musician Gruff Rhys, composed for the 2022 film of the same name and released on 24 February 2023 through Rough Trade Records. It follows his previous album, the critically acclaimed Seeking New Gods (2021), and it is his second full-length soundtrack album after the 2016 soundtrack for the film Set Fire to the Stars (2014). Recorded in bursts during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown across England, Wales, and France, it mixes original songs with instrumentals, several of which prominently feature the Mellotron and the cello. Preceded by eight of its twenty-two tracks, it debuted at no. 1 on the UK Soundtrack Albums Chart, and it was met with generally positive reviews.
