Two years later, Mt. Joy dropped their latest album Orange Blood, released in the summer. The album features highly acclaimed singles, including “Lemon Tree,” “Evergreen,” and the title track. During the album’s production, the band traveled to the desert to write and the music. Frontman Matt Quinn explained during an interview how they were inspired by their reclusive location. “I was definitely drawn to the color orange. When we were in the desert, everything revolved around the sun. I started playing with the idea that the light we see is this sort of orange blood that runs through all of us and gives life to everything it touches.”
