The group impersonates a priest, bear, superhero & more in a new video
The Avett Brothers have shared their new single, “Country Kid,” and its accompanying video directed by Adam Rothlein.
Arriving on the heels of lead single “Love Of A Girl” – which is simultaneously climbing charts at triple-A, Americana, and alternative radio, and has helped push the band past 1.6 billion career streams – “Country Kid” is the second preview of The Avett Brothers’ first new album in five years. Out May 17th via Ramseur Records/American Recordings/Thirty Tigers, and produced by Rick Rubin, The Avett Brothers is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time.
Like “Country Kid,” The Avett Brothers is filled with music and lyrics that seek the sacred in the commonplace. Recorded in Malibu’s Shangri-La Studios, as well as Nashville, Mar Vista, and the band’s hometown of Concord, North Carolina, it is an album interested in the divine unknowable, ultimately reveling in the fun and surrender of what we cannot understand.
The Avett Brothers will begin performing music from the album on an expansive US tour this spring and summer, including their five-day festival in Mexico, a headline show at NYC’s Forest Hills Stadium on album release day, three nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, LA’s SoFi Stadium with Luke Combs, and more that now extends through November.
