Watchhouse Details New Album ‘Rituals’ & Extensive 2025 Tour Dates

Watchhouse will release a new studio album, Rituals, on May 30 via Tiptoe Tiger Music/Thirty Tigers. The North Carolina-based duo of Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz announced tour dates supporting the release, which features the lead single, “All Around You.”

The follow-up to Watchhouse’s 2021 self-titled album, Rituals was produced by Ryan Gustafson. “All Around You” is one of 11 tracks making up the pending record. A statement describing the single explained:

“Featuring layered guitars, a steady beat and floating vocal harmonies, the song wrestles with how we often view home as a destination, just as we look back longing for the past. Ultimately it arrives at an understanding that wherever we are, we are already home, emphasizing that trusting in our own awareness allows us to face the future with the wisdom we’ve acquired.”

Listen to “All Around You”:

Watchhouse will tour extensively throughout 2025 in support of Rituals. Headlining dates, festival appearances and a tour with The Avett Brothers are among the pair’s upcoming performances.

Tickets to the newly announced Watchhouse headlining tour dates will go on sale on Friday, February 28. Find links and additional tour information below.
