“10-90” Debuts Today, Reflecting on the Ups and Downs of Relationships
Leading the charge is the brand new single, “10-90.” The song explores the complexities of relationships, acknowledging the inevitable shifts in effort and support that occur over time. Muncaster and Stanton explain, “’10-90′ is a reminder that sometimes relationships require an uneven split in effort. It’s about recognizing when your partner needs extra support and stepping up to the plate.” Listen to “10-90” here.
A Deep Dive into Their Roots: “The Coastal Plain”
Produced by the duo alongside Ryan Youmans (known for his work with Jelly Roll), “The Coastal Plain” delves deep into their Southern roots. Across 14 tracks, including previously released songs like “Mary Riley,” “Earle Byrd From Mexia,” and “Low Hangin’ Fruit,” the album weaves together country influences with the gospel and blues sounds that shaped their upbringing in Mobile, Alabama.
Muscadine Bloodline on Finding Their Sound:
“This album feels like a tribute to ourselves,” says Muscadine Bloodline. “We’ve finally discovered our unique sound, and we hope it inspires other artists to embrace their own authenticity. We’re constantly pushing boundaries and evolving as musicians, and that’s reflected in the strength of this new music.”
