WATCHHOUSE – Such Jubilee (2023 Reissue) – LP – Deep Purple Vinyl [date tbc]

LP – Limited EditionOpaqueDeep Purple Vinyl (Watchhouse FKA Mandolin Orange).

“All of these songs are definitely a product of being on the road,” says multi-instrumentalist/singer Emily Frantz of Watchhouse‘s gorgeous album, Such Jubilee, “but they’re not about the road”. “They’re about home,” explains songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/singer Andrew Marlin. “Not because we were missing it, but because when you’re gone so much, you start realising what you have and what’s waiting for you. You realise there’s this place to come back to at the end of the journey, and that’s where a lot of these songs come from.”

Such Jubilee is a record about home, both the place and the idea. Some days it’s a safe, warm, loving refuge from the world outside. Other days it’s cold and empty and too quiet. Either way, it’s always waiting for you at the end of the road.
