Mandolin Orange's "Gentle Elegance" (NPR Music) Binds a Grieving Father and Son in New "Golden Embers" Video

Today, Mandolin Orange release the official music video for "Golden Embers," a striking embodiment of both the agony and recovery at the foundation of their new album, Tides Of A Teardrop (out February 1st on Yep Roc Records). Tides Of A Teardrop delves into singer-songwriter Andrew Marlin's grief following the death of his mother, and the visual paints an intimate, resilient portrait of a father and son coping with despair. As Marlin told Garden & Gun, "I wrote this song to my Dad. I think we all try to hide our emotional pain or frustration sometimes, for the benefit of the ones around us."

As a thesis of the new LP and an encapsulation of Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz's patiently expressive work, the piece accompanies news of another extension to the band's 2019 tour, adding Atlanta, Austin, Memphis, a European leg, and others to over 35 shows hitting Brooklyn, Los Angeles, DC, and more - find all new dates below. Tickets are on sale at 10am local time this Friday, November 30th - following a 10am local Music Glue pre-sale on November 29th - here: http://www.mandolinorange.com/tour

Mandolin Orange's grassroots success story continues to grow: they've sold out every one of their headlining US performances in 2018, and nearly repeated that accomplishment in Europe. Their sixth studio album, Tides Of A Teardrop, is building on 100 million catalog streams and 1.3 million monthly Spotify listeners, while earning early praise from Rolling Stone Country, Paste, Garden & Gun, and NPR Music, who hailed the North Carolinians as a "slow-burning, steadily rising duo [that] exudes gentle elegance."
