Longleaf Lo-fi marks the duo’s second full length album release of 2025 via Stancaster Music/Thirty Tigers. The 11-song collection arrived digitally after Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton surprise-announced the album last month without any details at all, but giving fans the option to purchase a limited-edition vinyl of the new album before it hit streaming. Within 24 hours, all 3,000 copies were completely sold out. Last week, the duo honored Veteran’s Day with the release of the official video for “Peter From Picayune,” a heartfelt portrait of bravery and sacrifice. It followed the release of the official video for “My Meridian” which also appears on the album. About the new album, Muscadine Bloodline explains: “Longleaf Lo-fi is the most laid-back and real record we’ve ever made. It feels like sitting by a fire on a cool Mississippi night. Every song comes from somewhere on Highway 59 between Meridian and Poplarville, shaped by the towns, the memories, and people along the way. We’re from Alabama, but we spent a lot of our adult years and made some of our best memories in Mississippi, and both of our wives are from there too. So these songs didn’t feel like stories we made up. They felt like memories we already had. We left town for a while and recorded the whole album in a cabin on a quail farm in Poplarville. No rush, no fancy studio. Just us, some guitars and time to let the music happen. It’s simple, acoustic led, and we kept it that way on purpose. Longleaf Lo-fi isn’t about being polished. It’s about being present.” The new album follows the April release of …And What Was Left Behind, a companion to the duo’s 2024 release The Coastal Plain, which was called “one of the strongest country albums of 2024” by Rolling Stone and garnered additional acclaim from Country Central, The Tennessean, American Songwriter and more. Both albums recounted the duo’s experience growing up in Mobile, AL near the Gulf Coast. Now, with their forthcoming music, they’re setting their sights on the neighboring state and how it’s played a part in their remarkable story. In the midst of a breakout year, “two of country music’s liveliest entertainers” (Billboard) just wrapped a run of dates with Lainey Wilson on her Whirlwind World Tour, an extensive summer headline tour of their own and their Red Rocks debut supporting The Red Clay Strays. In April, they were nominated for Duo of the Year at the 60th Annual ACM Awards. Last year, they served as direct support on Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion Tour, and also shared the stage with country giants like Eric Church, Turnpike Troubadours and Cody Johnson. Since their debut in 2015, they’ve notched a radio hit with “10-90,” earned a platinum-certified single “Porch Swing Angel,” made their Grand Ole Opry debut and performed sold-out headline shows across the country.
