MELBOURNE, AUS. – Australian Golden Guitar-winning folk/Americana duo The Weeping Willows have long burned brightest in the shadows. True to form, with earthy new single and cautionary tale, “House of Sin”, (out today!) the pair considers the irresistible flame of temptation and the wages of iniquity that follow in its train. With its sinuous fingerpicking and ominous note of warning, House of Sin” finds The Weeping Willows at the peak of their songwriting and vocal powers. 

“This song takes on the sin of temptation against vows. The flinty vocals of Coates and Wrigglesworth create a chilly dark feel. The video leaves no doubt about the fallen conscience. You’ll listen for the adept playing too, which is truly first rate.” – Americana Highways

Helmed by Laura Coates and Andrew Wrigglesworth, The Weeping Willows are a couple of old souls steeped in bluegrass tradition and draped in gothic Americana imagery.

Recorded, engineered and mixed by Ryan Freeland (Ramblin' Jack Elliott, The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Ray LaMontagne, Bonnie Raitt, Aimee Mann) at Los Angeles’ world-beating Stampede Origin Studio and drawing from the same shadowy thematic wellspring as the duo’s critically-acclaimed sophomore studio album Before Darkness Comes A-Callin’ (2016), “House of Sin” is a thrilling meditation on the darker underbelly of a fallen world and offers a glimpse into the Weeping Willows’ much anticipated third studio album, You Reap What You Sow available March 4, 2022.

As Laura explains, “We’ve always been drawn to the more sinister, ‘gothic’ side of Americana music that harkens back to the early blues as well as bluegrass and ‘mountain music’ traditions.”

“House of Sin” is available on all music services today. You Reap What You Sow will be available on March 4, 2022.
