The Tumblers are shaking things up—and not just in their New York City neighborhood. Formed in Brooklyn, this folk-rock band is making a name for itself with its raucous live shows and unexpected approach to the genre.
With “Starlight,” The Tumblers add a hint of edge to their music that transcends the boundaries of indie rock and folk, a trait shared by many tracks on Tangerine.
When discussing the track in greater detail, bandmember Jack Crawford-Brown writes: “I think we’ve gotten grittier and more vibrant in general across all our songs. I would call it Folk Rock / Indie Rock. I think a lot of that comes from Ian’s guitar sound, which has added a lot of playful creativity in general. All the songs before were recorded part by part. This release is a band playing together, locked in. We said imperfections are fine. We want it to sound real. That’s all new!”
“Starlight” comes after January’s “Voice Inside”, as well as last fall’s dual lead singles “Light Of A Home” and “Tastes Like June”, with all of the tracks coming ahead of The Tumblers’ upcoming album Tangerine, due to be released on March 28, 2025.

About The Tumblers
The Tumblers are shaking things up—and not just in their New York City neighborhood. Formed in Brooklyn, this folk-rock band is making a name for itself with its raucous live shows and unexpected approach to the genre. “A fickle friend is my favorite enemy!” shouts lead singer Jack Crawford-Brown into the mic, and the crowd answers, “Enemy!” as the band jumps in unison, like a punk band decided to pick up a banjo and a violin.
“Our music might seem fun and loose, but it comes from a place of deep passion and intensity,” says Crawford-Brown. “We love the harmonies and the storytelling of traditional folk, but we want it to hit harder—louder, more raw. We want people to feel it in their bones.
The Tumblers are gearing up for the release of their debut album, Tangerine, set to drop March 28, 2025. The record ranges from haunting ballads to foot-stomping anthems. “It’s the culmination of countless hours spent in cramped rehearsal spaces, ignoring eviction threats, and pouring everything we’ve got into our music,” says bassist Emerson Sieverts. “We wanted this album to represent who we are as a band—wild, honest, and unafraid to break the mold.”
Jack and Emerson’s musical journey began at age 11, playing together in various bands across the DC area for about a decade. In 2022 they reunited in New York and, together with Ian, Will, and Camellia, formed The Tumblers.
With a new album on the horizon and a reputation for high-energy, unforgettable performances, The Tumblers are making their mark on the folk rock scene.
