On its seventh studio album, Rituals, North Carolina duo Watchhouse—Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz—explores themes of home, presence, time, and the patterns we come to depend on. Co-produced by Marlin and Ryan Gustafson of the Dead Tongues, the album gently expands the band’s sonic palette. It introduces new textures and approaches while holding onto their signature warmth and lyrical clarity.

Her years of traveling and busking and camping out at old-time festivals surely play a role, too.
