Review

"Such Jubilee" is a real treat from Mandolin Orange, the North Carolina folk duo who've since rebranded as Watchhouse. It's their fourth studio album, released in 2015, and it's chock-full of heartfelt tunes that'll make you want to curl up with a warm blanket and a cup of tea.

Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz are the dynamic duo behind this gem, with Marlin handling the songwriting and a bunch of stringed instruments, while Frantz brings her lovely voice and violin skills to the mix. They've got a knack for creating music that feels both cozy and thought-provoking. Take "Blue Ruin" for example - it's a powerful song about the Sandy Hook tragedy that'll give you goosebumps.

The album's all about home, but not just in the "four walls and a roof" sense. It's more like home is wherever you feel safe and loved. Some songs make you feel all warm and fuzzy, while others have a bit of an edge to them. And let's not forget the simple but effective arrangements that really let their harmonies shine. It's like they're sitting in your living room, playing just for you! - Bianca
