The Avett Brothers return with their first album in five years. Produced by longtime collaborator, friend and early champion Rick Rubin, The Avett Brothers is as much untitled as it is self-titled, for as Thomas Keating said: "Silence is Gods first language - everything else is a poor translation." From the albums all-vocal opening to the sharp, scrappy and scorching rock n roll blast of lead single "Love Of A Girl," to the novel strains of folk, roots, synth and strings that have landed The Avett Brothers numerous Billboard Top 5 and chart-topping albums, three GRAMMY nominations, five Americana Music Awards, a documentary co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio, and so much more, this record is one that revealed itself naturally over time. Recorded in Malibus Shangri-La Studios, as well as Nashville, Mar Vista, and the bands hometown of Concord, NC, The Avett Brothers is a collection of songs seen through a lens of independently studied spirituality; questions and considerations in the interest of the divine unknowable. In an ongoing attempt to comprehend existence and our interpersonal connectedness, these songs seek the sacred in the commonplace: a cheap cup of coffee, the smallest movement of love, broken hearts and school bus lessons, a babys first and second steps, growing older and holding on to ones roots, losing someone and accepting fate, rediscovering hope and finding sanctity in tragedy...ultimately reveling in the fun and surrender of what we cannot understand. As their first full length release on Ramseur Records/Thirty Tigers since 2007s Emotionalism, The Avett Brothers is both a cumulative opus and fresh start for the bands future as a multifaceted and singular force. First new Avett Brothers studio album in four years. Produced by Rick Rubin. First self-titled album in their storied career.
