Lean into Watchhouse’s 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 music, as if they created their own musical language as they recorded it.
As the duo’s songwriter, Andrew Marlin sharpens his lyrical prowess here, touching on broad themes of growing older and feeling helpless in a world torn by injustice. Sure, the album sounds classic, but it is rooted in the here and now of our daily headlines.
Originally released September 30, 2016 on Yep Roc Records, Blindfaller builds on the acclaim of Watchhouse’s breakthrough debut on the label, 2013’s This Side of Jordan, and its follow-up, 2015’s Such Jubilee.
"The musical tapestry of ‘Blindfaller’ is delicately woven with lush threads of acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, violin and pedal steel...However, it's the vocal interplay of Frantz and Marlin that is the band's most distinctive calling card.” - Rolling Stone Country
“Because their harmonies have such a sweet, angelic quality, you almost miss out on the righteous warning.” - NPR Music
