The Avett Brothers Release New Album, 'Closer Than Together’ [Stream]

The Avett Brothers and their fans are charging into the weekend with the band’s new album, Closer Than Together, which is out today via Republic Records.

The 13-track studio album is the band’s first since 2016’s True Sadness, and features previously-released singles in “High Steppin’” and “Bang Bang“.

“We didn’t make a record that was meant to comment on the sociopolitical landscape that we live in,” Seth Avett explained in a statement when the band detailed their forthcoming album earlier this year. “We did, however, make an album that is obviously informed by what is happening now on a grander scale all around us…The Avett Brothers will probably never make a sociopolitical record. But if we did, it might sound something like this.”
