The track is the final preview of their forthcoming album
With the release of a new single and video “Forever Now,” The Avett Brothers have shared the final preview of their 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 a collection of nine songs that seek the sacred in the commonplace. As much untitled as self-titled, the LP is interested in the divine unknowable, ultimately reveling in the fun and surrender of what we cannot understand: “How long is now,” they ask in the opening line of the new song available today. “We could stay but we don’t know how.”
“Forever Now” follows lead single and radio hit “Love Of A Girl,” as well as the recently released “Country Kid,” featuring a music video that finds the band roller skating as a priest, bear, superhero and more. The Avett Brothers recorded The Avett Brothers in Malibu, 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.
Furthermore, The Avett Brothers will now be giving fans across the country an early experience of the album. At a series of just-announced Listening Events on May 15th, local record stores in more than 30 cities play The Avett Brothers front to back. Free and open to all, attendees will also receive an exclusive poster by Scott Avett, who illustrated the album’s artwork, its accompanying booklet, and impeccable packaging.
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.
