Mandolin Orange – Tides Of A Teardrop (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz had been quietly building one of the most devoted followings in the Americana underground long before this 2019 release landed on year-end lists across the folk world. Recorded in the wake of personal loss, the album carries a weight that pulls their signature Chapel Hill sound somewhere deeper and more elemental, drawing comparisons to the spare, aching tradition of early country and folk without ever feeling like a history lesson.
Mandolin Orange's music radiates a mysterious warmth -their songs feel like whispered secrets, one hand cupped to your ear. The North Carolina duo have built a steady and growing fanbase with this kind of intimacy, and on Tides of A Teardrop, it is more potent than ever. By all accounts, it is the duo's fullest, richest, and most personal effort. You can hear the air between them-the taut space of shared understanding, as palpable as a magnetic field, that makes their music sound like two halves of an endlessly completing thought. Singer-songwriter Andrew Marlin and multi-instrumentalist Emily Frantz have honed this lamp glow intimacy for years.
