“Snowblind on Snoopy Hill” is an original instrumental by the mandolinist Andrew Marlin, known for his work in the duo Mandolin Orange, later renamed Watchhouse. It appears on his 2021 solo album “Witching Hour.”
The album’s tunes were written around the time Marlin became a father, and reviewers have described this one as a playful lullaby. It is a gentle, light-footed piece, in keeping with the reflective, domestic warmth that runs through the record.
This recording features Marlin himself on mandolin, joined by a small acoustic ensemble, performing the tune on “Witching Hour.”
