Tides of a Teardrop is a 2019 album released by Mandolin Orange on Yep Roc Records (YEP-2638), the duo's sixth studio release and their most critically acclaimed. Self-produced by Andrew Marlin (mandolin, guitar, vocals)—who wrote much of the album in response to his mother's death—the recording is joined by Emily Frantz (fiddle, guitar, vocals), Clint Mullican (bass, baritone guitar), Josh Oliver (guitar, keyboards), and drummer Joe Westerlund. The album's emotional directness and sonic maturity drew widespread attention beyond the duo's established folk and Americana audience, marking a coming-of-age moment for a pair who had built their following through a decade of relentless touring and recording.
