The Avett Brothers - The Carpenter

"...still among its sharpest melodists, with banjos plinking along to swooping power-pop melody worthy of Big Star." — Rolling Stone

The critically acclaimed North Carolina folk-pop-rock stalwarts the Avett Brothers are returning with their first album since 2009's I and Love and You, with The Carpenter due out on Sept. 11.

"We're very excited," Scott Avett says about the Avett Brothers' seventh album, The Carpenter. In January 2011, the band started recording a total of 24 songs in Asheville, North Carolina, for the follow up to their 2009 LP I And Love And You, once again working with producer Rick Rubin. The brothers get loud on "Paul Newman Versus the Demons," lead a waltzing sing-along on "Down With the Shine" and contemplate life on the road on the acoustic ballad "The Once and Future Carpenter."
