Mandolin Orange Blindfaller CD

Blindfaller builds on the acclaim of Mandolin Orange's breakthrough debut on Yep Roc Records, 2013's This Side of Jordan, and it's 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 Austin City Limits, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Newport Folk Festival, and Pickathon. It's been an auspicious journey for a pair who casually met at a bluegrass jam session in 2009. 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.
