See the Avett Brothers take a ride with death in the new 'High Steppin’' video
“We didn’t make a record that was meant to comment on the sociopolitical landscape that we live in,” he writes. “We did, however, make an album that is obviously informed by what is happening now on a grander scale all around us … because we are a part of it and it is a part of us.”
Adds Scott Avett, “These songs very much work off of each other and probably say more socially and politically than we’ve ever attempted to say. I wouldn’t call it a social-political record, but it touches on some of our own personal experiences, with things like our love and respect for the women in our lives.”
Ahead of the album’s release, the Avett Brothers have a stacked touring schedule set for the summer, including three sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, and a performance at Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee, on June 14th.will show a collection of large-scale portraits and paintings at the North Carolina Museum of Art, October 12th through February 2nd, 2020.
“I have to work a little hard to be musical,” he laughs. “I can be lyrical — I love words and I love to say things — but for me to be musical, it takes a lot more work than for me to be visual. So I consider painting really at the top of my priorities.
