LP repress features Gold Vinyl and the new "Watchhouse" band name.
CD artwork features "Mandolin Orange" band name.
At it’s core, Watchhouse (formerly known as Mandolin Orange) is a duo - Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz - from Chapel Hill, NC. Their harmonies are ethereal, their chemistry vibrant, bringing to mind the atmosphere invoked by classic duos such as Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, or Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Andrew and Emily provide the foundation of the group's timeless Americana sound, while enlisting a full band to flesh out their dynamics. This Side of Jordan is the group's 3rd full length album and debut release on Yep Roc Records. Since signing to the label and releasing This Side of Jordan in 2013, the band has made quite a bit of noise on the folk/Americana circuit. They’ve received critical acclaim from NPR Music, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, Garden & Gun, No Depression and more. Their catalog has surpassed over 500 million streams and they’ve sold out worldwide tours. They have headlined Red Rocks and have graced the stage of the Ryman, Bonnaroo, and Newport Folk Festival.
"It all feels so effortless and beautiful, you don't even realize you've been sucked in until the songs reach in and tug hard at your heart." -NPR Music
“On This Side Of Jordan, their Yep Roc label debut, Marlin and Frantz seize the powerful – and personal – themes of love and loss, observing faith and religion, life and death, in their strongest and most mature album to date.” - American Songwriter
