The Avett Brothers isn’t just the band’s first new album in five years. It also marks their return to Ramseur Records/Thirty Tigers. They last released Emotionalism (2007) on the label before they moved to Republic/UMG for a string of releases.

According to a press release, 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.”
The Avett Brothers traveled from coast to coast to record this album. They had sessions in producer Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, a studio in Nashville, Mar Vista, and their hometown of Concord, North Carolina.
The Avett Brothers will hit record store shelves and streaming services on May 17th. Preorders are available now.
