Watchhouse - Watchhouse

Featuring "New Star" and "Better Way"

Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz of Watchhouse — the critically acclaimed roots music duo who until recently were known as Mandolin Orange — announce their new self-titled album Watchhouse, out August 13 on Tiptoe Tiger Music / Thirty Tigers.

With the change of name comes an artistic rebirth: While still firmly rooted in poetic Appalachian folk, there's a sonic adventurousness informed by American primitivism and ambient soundscapes that gives Marlin and Frantz's songs a new, unknowable allure. Watchhouse is audacious, spectral music that wrestles with and finds magic in the relationships we build with our families, our society, our planet, and ourselves.
