WATCH: My Bubba & Mandolin Orange, ‘Satisfied Mind’

Posted on by Editor

Artist: My Bubba & Mandolin Orange
Hometown: Iceland & Sweden / Chapel Hill, NC
Song: “Satisfied Mind”

In Their Words: “We’re happy to have captured this backstage version of ‘Satisfied Mind,’ which we sang as an encore touring with Mandolin Orange in the Fall of 2016. ‘Satisfied Mind’ has been with us for a long time, and we always come back to it in new contexts. It’s such a simple, strong, and grounding song, and always a pleasure to play with new musical friends. It’s message honoring peace of mind is always relevant and is somehow contained in the melodies of the song.” — Bubba Tomasdottir

LISTEN: Almond&Olive, ‘Mulberry Hill’

Posted on by Editor

Artist: Almond&Olive
Hometown: Chicago, IL
Song: "Mulberry Hill"
Album: Standing at the Precipice
Release Date: January 27, 2017

In Their Words: "'Mulberry Hill' was one of the first songs Natalie and I played together. I wrote it year or so before I brought it to the band, and immediately our voices meshed together perfectly, with Natalie's beautiful guitar melody completing the arrangement. The song was a hit right away with our fans, who seemed to relate to the wistful tone of love not realized, as well as the forlorn refrain of forbidden romance. The song tries capture that moment of dreaming and hope right when you realize you love someone you can't have, but think, just for a minute, maybe it will all work out." — Ollie Davidson
