New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Since the February release of their acclaimed new album Tides Of A Teardrop (Yep Roc Records) - which topped Billboard's Heatseekers, Folk/Americana, Current Country, and Bluegrass Charts - "Into the Sun" has emerged from the record as an unexpected favorite among Mandolin Orange's 1.5 million monthly Spotify listeners. Today, the band gives the song a new live video: https://youtu.be/2ZTUjS_UwZA
While most of the LP finds singer-songwriter Andrew Marlin grappling with his mother's passing and the family ties that bind, Emily Frantz takes the lead on "Into the Sun," meditating on the loss of her grandfather with serene conviction. Listen to the two of them discuss the track in part of their conversation on NPR's Here & Now, and read their profile in the current issue of American Songwriter.
In a second new video out today, Marlin and Frantz sit down with Amazon
Music for an intimate performance of "The Wolves," opening up on the song's roots in the immigration ban, using the Statue of
Liberty as a metaphor, and more: https://youtu.be/wdFf2UAwark
