Living and dying in the next stage of The Avett Brothers

In 2009 much of the world was amazed by "I and Love and You" album with which we discovered the wonderful melodic side of The Avett Brothers always endearing. After some time of inactivity the brothers of the world's most famous folk to war again with "The Carpenter", the new album that will go on sale next September 11. To get you started the Avett have put online a first single titled 'Live and Die' which serves as an appetizer in the face of what awaits us in the coming months.

You only need to hear a few seconds of the piece to realize the strong spin pop that has come under the natural DNA of South Carolina. Much of this shift is motivated by a Rick Rubin who worked with Scott, Seth and Bob "I and Love and You" and that this time has helped to decant the ensemble sound into something more infectious to that seen in "Mignonette" or "A Carolina Jubilee". Scott Avett himself has confirmed this in an interview with MainstreetUnh to clarify that this LP was going to mean for TAB "a step further towards a bigger sound and greater production."

This summer / fall The Avett Brothers will be bundled with Dave Matthews Band on an extensive U.S. tour but not the least surprise me that the band return to play in Europe soon after. Is 2012 the year that we see Avett Brothers in Barcelona and Madrid? Hopefully friends, hopefully.
