Blindfaller
[ Vinyl / 12" Album Coloured Vinyl ]

Ah, Watchhouse! The band formerly known as Mandolin Orange has rebranded themselves with a new name and a new album, "Blindfaller." And let me tell you, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. Opening track "Lonesome Valley" sets the tone for the rest of the album, with haunting vocals and intricate instrumentation that immediately grabs your attention. The harmony between Emily Frantz and Andrew Marlin is simply mesmerising, and their chemistry is undeniable. As the album progresses, we are treated to a mix of folk, bluegrass, and Americana influences that come together to create a truly unique sound. Tracks like "Jump the Fire" and "New York City" showcase the band's versatility and ability to experiment with different styles. But what really sets Watchhouse apart is their storytelling. Each track on "Blindfaller" feels like a journey, with lyrics that paint vivid pictures of love, loss, and everything in between. It's impossible not to get caught up in the emotion of songs like "Hard Times" and "Sodom, South Georgia." Overall, "Blindfaller" is a triumph for Watchhouse. It's a bold, ambitious album that solidifies their place as one of the most exciting folk bands in the industry. So sit back, relax, and let Watchhouse take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
