Albuquerque, New Mexico - Daniel Pretends-Eagle and Carol Morgan-Eagle, founders and co-writers of critically acclaimed Southwest Americana band Bone Orchard have signed a deal to release their upcoming single, “ Joaquin Murietta” and album 'Saints of the Borderlands' via the 13 Music LTD record label.



Founders Daniel Pretends Eagle and Carol Morgan-Eagle have been co-writing, recording and producing their own music in Taos, New Mexico for 20 years, crafting a sound and songwriting style that expresses their eclectic interests and passions. Celtic harmonies, Gypsy melodies, Spanish rhythms, Spaghetti Westerns, surf, psychedelia and darkly romantic lyrics all converge into Daniel and Carol’s own mythology of the Old/New West.



The band draws inspiration from the music and stories of the Great American Southwest as well as the revisionist sensibilities of writers and filmmakers such as Sam Peckinpah, Cormac McCarthy, Roberto Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino. With their band Bone Orchard, Daniel Pretends Eagle on guitar and vocals, Carol Morgan-Eagle on vocals, along with Chipper Thompson on mandolin, guitar and Vihuela, Michael Chavez on drums, and Paul Reid on bass will take you on a journey through a Southwestern magical realism soundscape which needs to be heard to be fully appreciated.



After meeting in the thriving underground music scene of Los Angeles where Daniel Pretends Eagle, hailed by LA Weekly as “one of LA’s best-unsigned guitarists,” fronted the roots-punk band The Peckinpahs, he and Carol Morgan-Eagle relocated to Taos, NM in the early ‘90s. even though Daniel had always adamantly stated “you don’t form a band with your wife!”, singing and playing music around a campfire on the banks of the Rio Chama 19 years ago was where they finally realized it was time to mesh their talents. He has since acquiesced it was one of the best decisions he’s ever made.



President Kevin Kraybill of 13 Music LTD exclaims, “I'm pleased to have this very special group; Daniel, Carol and the other band members of Bone Orchard in the 13 Music family!”



Carol Morgan-Eagle of Bone Orchard states "We're excited to have the support of Kevin Kraybill and 13 Music, Ltd and look forward to a great working relationship."Recent projects include composing music at the invitation of The Albuquerque Museum for their exhibition “Only in Albuquerque”.



They recently appeared in the 2018 Andrew Fleming (Bad Dreams, The Craft, The In-Laws) directed film, "Ideal Home" starring Paul Rudd and Steve Coogan. Their last album, 'A Romance Of Ghosts, was considered “One of the most exciting folk-rock CDs of recent times” by Eric van Domberg Scipio of Heaven Magazine in the Netherlands.



In November of 2019, Bone Orchard also was featured at the 1st 13 Music LTD Artist Showcase at Red Velvet Underground in Albuquerque alongside other 13 Music Ltd affiliated artists such as Chris & Company, and Sweet Nothin. Also appearing were up and coming hard rockers Jason Kane & The Jive.
