Details

"Mandolin Orange has been quietly gathering local and faraway fans since its debut album was released back in 2010. The North Carolina duo's music -- laced with bluegrass, country and folk -- is often wistful and contemplative without being somber, and always firmly grounded in the South." 

Lean in to Mandolin Orange’s new album, ‘Blindfaller,’ and it’s bound to happen. You’ll suddenly pick up on the power and devastation lurking in its quietude, the doom hiding beneath its unvarnished beauty. You’ll hear the way it magnifies the intimacy at the heart of the North Carolina duo’s (Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz) music, as if they created their own musical language as they recorded it. 
  
Released on Sept. 30 on Yep Roc Records, ‘Blindfaller’ builds on the acclaim of Mandolin Orange’s breakthrough debut on the label, 2013’s ‘This Side of Jordan,’ and its follow-up, last year’s ‘Such Jubilee.’ Since then they’ve steadily picked up speed and fans they’ve earned from long stretches on the road, including appearances at Newport Folk Festival, Austin City Limits Fest, and Telluride Bluegrass. 
  
They’ve always been keen on the notion that drawn-out recording sessions don’t necessarily yield better results. A good song, and just one good take, will always shine through any studio sorcery. The passage of time, and the regret that often accompanies it, courses through these songs. 
  
A ‘faller’ is someone who fells trees, and in this case that person is blind to his/her own actions and those of the world.
