Avett Brothers to Release New Album + Tour Dates

Here is a, at times, blurred YouTube video of the Avett's title track, "I and Love and You." Pretty good sound though. You get the picture.

Brother face-off round one:

Avett Brothers vs. Felice Brothers.
North Carolina vs. New York City
I and Love and You (American/Columbia) vs. Yonder is the Clock (Team Love)
______

We envision a Lawson vs. Hill boys-style rumble (see: Drive By Truckers' "Decoration Day") if these two were to ever meet.

The Avett Brothers are scheduled on a 48 show tour promoting their newest release, I and Love and You which drops August 11 on American/Columbia; this will be the band's 10th studio release. At the production helm, who else, but Rick Rubin.

New Felice Brothers: "Run Chicken Run" Mp3, Yonder Tracklist

[mp3]

The Felice Brothers: "Run Chicken Run"

Team Love is dropping the new Felice Brothers LP, Yonder Is The Clock on April 7th, and we're all pretty jazzed about it. And we're pleased as punch to offer the set's first single, "Run Chicken Run," today. Consider our appetites whetted. (Or is it wetted? We can never remember.) It's a great update on last year's self-titled record, containing the elements you've come to know and love from the boys -- rollicking accordion and fiddle, very-Dylanesque vocals and a made-in-the-mud chorus -- while improving the fidelity and adding new textures, like the fuzzy third verse. You can pre-order the ghostly, Twain-inspired Yonder vinyl at the label's webstore and get an album download link next week. 

Yonder Is The Clock:

1 The Big Surprise 

2 Penn Station

3 Buried In Ice

4 Chicken Wire

5 Ambulance Man

6 Sailor Song

7 Katie Dear

8 Run Chicken Run

9 All When We Were Young

10 Boy from Lawrence County

11 Memphis Flu 

12 Cooperstown 

13 Rise and Shine

Felices Get Yonder On New Record

Fantastic news from the Team Love camp this morning, as staff favorites and All Points West standouts The Felice Brothers have announced an April 7th release date for their new LP, Yonder Is The Clock. It follows last year's excellent self-titled record that launched the band out of the Catskills and into the mainstream. We hear that bearded-kingpin and Avett-bud Rick Rubin offered to produce, but the band turned him down. Curious about that title?

Titled with a phrase drawn from the pages of Mark Twain, Yonder Is The Clock is a nod to all of the American ghosts that lend their narrative and characters to the forthcoming release. The Felice Brothers studio was built from the remains of an abandoned chicken coop and it was there over the summer and fall of 2008 that they wrote and recorded this new collection of songs. The record is teaming with tales of love, death, betrayal, baseball, train stations, phantoms, pandemics, jail cells, rolling rivers and frozen winter nights.

Ian, Simone, James, Christmas and Farley are bringing their moonshine rock on the road with them beginning in February with Old Crow Medicine Show. Tour dates and Yonder track list after the jump.
