Punch Brothers have a new album coming out next month! I am very, very excited. I’m considering buying the “vinyl bundle”… it comes with a T-shirt, guys! 

My thoughts from this recording, as well as this one: It feels like Chris Thile and the gang are trying to take things in more of a pop song direction — a welcome change. When I heard Jon Brion was producing Antifogmatic, I was hoping for an exciting new sound. But instead, it sounds like Brion tried to hone in on the purest, most essential “Punch Brothers sound” he could capture, using precise mic placement and minimal post-production.

This new album looks like it will be moving in the direction I was hoping for from Pickles and the gang two years ago — again, I am very, very excited. This should be an incredible album. 

Thanks in advance for the Valentine’s Day present, guys!
