My teacher is the banjo player's brother!! He was the one who made the name of this album! They are really good!
I heard these guys on NPR and was enamored from the get-go. I mean, the album name alone kind of had me sold, especially when they explained its origins. Then I downloaded their album and saw that they did a live Fiona Apple cover. Double thumbs up. I'm not a bluegrass lover by any means, but these guys are fun to listen to no matter what you're into.
This album is, in a word, phenomenal. I would expect nothing less from Mr. Thile and his crew of virtuosos. The machine-gun banjo on Alex blew me away, and I would be hesitant to believe it wsn't processed if I hadn't heard it live back in Februrary. For me, this is an album that will be on repeat for the indefinite future. (Also, if you get the chance to see them live, please do yourself a favor and check it out. Both shows I've seen were mind-blowing, and the Februrary show I mentioned was well worth the four-hour drive I made to see it.)
Absolutely loved it. When I see the crap that passes for music these days, overproduced and unable to sing without an aoutotune, and then i see musicians like this...it makes me appreciate great music from all genres. Keep it up Chris. I look forward to seeing you live again. g
I just got to see this band live when they opened for Paul Simon...AMAZING ! They have a new fan !
It must be rough being as chiseled and statuesque as Chris Thile. Apparently, the man has so many women throwing themselves at him on a day-to-day basis that he will never be the well-adjusted gentleman he seems to yearn to be in his songs. Punch Brothers established themselves a few years ago as the new purveyors of progressive new-grass, featuring five young lions who kick the crap out of their instruments while simultaneously nailing thick, wicked harmony vocals through endless changes of key and tempo. Their debut album was breathtaking, and was mostly arranged as one suite separated into movements… all to tell the epic tale of Thile’s divorce. The stark (but awesome) poetry was amazing, but the whole thing was a bit self-indulgent, and it flew over the heads of most. Fast forward, and what used to be “the guy from Nickel Creek’s new band” is now recognized on its own merit. Not only that, but it is a band being produced by the legendary Jon Brion. So look out, baby: “Antifogmatic” is the sound of five virtuosi who have been playing together long enough to become musically telepathic, and these songs sound organic and inspired. Even cooler, they sound inspired not only by Thile… there are new elements to the band’s sound all over the place (one tune in particular slapped me in the face with a cool homage to Mike Marshall’s “Gator Strut”), and I’m guessing those have been contributed by the ensemble’s other worthy members. It’s not even fair to stamp their main genre as “bluegrass”, or even “newgrass” anymore… this is a progressive pop album that just so happens to have been recorded with traditional bluegrass instruments, and they give as many nods to electronic music as they do to hyperspeed flatpicking. …but yeah; the songs are still almost entirely about girls, and about Thile’s apparent inability to have a committed and stable relationship. That’s not a bad thing, as it’s not something you wouldn’t expect from a group of five strapping lads with a penchant for boot-stompin’. Thile may be a ladies’ man, but he did warn us about it long ago. So we can’t complain.
...and they were amazing. Not only are they talented musicians, but they have such a playful sense about their music; while they take their craft quite seriously, their genius comes so easily that they can afford to not take the entire situation too seriously. The Radiohead cover is genius. My only complaint (and it's a really minor one) is that their cover of The Strokes' "Reptilia," which was amazing live, is not on this album. But what's here is phenomenal.
Texas!
I saw these guys open for Steve Martin and was blown away! A great mixture of traditional bluegrass sound and innovative orchestration. Give them a try! Seeing them live was better, but the album is great!
this album is amazing. the musicianship displayed by all of the members of the band is great. all of the amazingness of chris thile is there but in a more mass appealing style (in comparison to punch) great band, great album, and well worth getting the deluxe version for the extra tunes and videos.
Not that great
Just what you'd expect from five of the most virtuosic, creative guys in progressive bluegrass (or whatever you wanna call it). A lot more quirky personality and dynamic range here than in 'Punch!', though I can't quite say that anything here comes close to the large-scale craft and continuity of 'blind leaving the blind'. If you haven't heard this band before, this is a more accessible album than the last, but with equally nifty cross-stylization of folk/bluegrass/contemporary chamber music. The Deluxe version is well worth the extra few bucks (um... brandenburg? awesome). Enjoy, and if you haven't caught 'em live– they'll knock your socks off.
I won't be long winded, though I could go on and on about it. . . . . I love this album. This is one of those few bands who couldn't possibly make a bad album. I hope they stay together forever. WELCOME HOME ROCKS!!!!!!!
Punch Brothers are perhaps the most talented musicians in the progressive bluegrass circuit, in my opinion. Odd harmonies, expert picking, and haunting melodies make this album truly great. Chris Thile plays with the technique of any classically trained musician. Their songs have little bits of classical spice, but with a current feel. All of these musicians deserve applause, so I applaud you. Lovely, Lovely.
Everything I have come to expect from Chris Thile and the Punch Brothers and much, much more. I saw them this year in Santa Monica and ever since could not wait until the release of this album. Well done. You won't be disapointed if you buy it.
I looked at a bluegrass site that listed this as one of the top ten albums for 2010 and thought what the heck I'll give it a shot. What a bad mistake. This is by far the worst purchase I've ever made. It's more like some new age jazz crap that just happens to have a banjo. If you like traditional bluegrass then give this one a wide berth!
This is the 3rd album from one of the greatest bands... in America? The World? Ever? It would be hard to say too much about a group of virtuosos who craft music that's not only complex, interesting, technically brilliant, and experimental, but that's also cool and with lyrics you can sing along to. They're the Radiohead of Bluegrass, but they're not a bluegrass band (anymore). I'd call them prog-grass, if prog rock weren't so irrelevant for so many people. They can play with the best of them, sing songs that break your heart and open your imagination, and they do some of the best covers you'll ever hear. If you don't have Antifogmatic, and Punch, and How to Grow a Woman from the Ground, you're missing out on some of the best music you'll ever hear.
Just when I was losing faith in American music, along comes Chris Thile and these guys. This is the kind of genre-bending music I crave for, and "Antifogmatic" is certainly an accessible album for all music lovers. This group has said in interviews that this album is going more for a rock feel, which is noticeable (they love to cover Radiohead, and for good reason). This album is much better for those who might hasve been frustrated with some of the aspects of "Punch". Songs like "Alex" and "This is the Song" are just plain gorgeous. I hope to see them live today. That would top off an amazing listening experience I get each time I listen to this record:)
Have to check out the videos to see the boys make all this great sound with their own ten hands without redubs or do-overs. Band chemistry is fun to watch. If you like this album, go back at get How to Grow a Woman, released under the artist Chris Thile, but is basically the same band - although with a different bass player.
Five Stars for me is a very small universe. It is reserved for Albums defined by excellence and timelessness. They are albums that in their day are ground breaking and over time stand the test of those that follow. This is one. This is the type of album that will influence and challenge. Educating a listeners ear and inspiring other artists new and old. The Punch Brothers challenge their listeners with songs that combine amazing playing, solid songwriting, beautiful harmonies along with sometimes purposely atonal segues that could be jarring and distracting, but instead fit and give the songs new and deeper meaning . They are not only pushing the boundaries of their music, but also their instruments. Like Hendicks with the guitar (without the lighter fluid) and Miles with the trumpet. They are redefining not just the music played, but how it is played and what the instruments can do. I discovered The Punch Brothers last year through a random collection of coincidental events that all pointed me toward checking them out. I liked and was challenged by their prior album 'Punch'. I felt I had a sense of what they were trying to do, but the album didn't fully capture the band that I saw live on stage. I was blown away with their live performance. I can only liken it to the feeling I felt from my first Springsteen concert in '77. It was a high wire act where you know that the performance holds nothing back and is constantly pushing the boundaries. Philippe Petit didn't just walk arrows the tightrope between the Twin Towers. He did it 8 times, for 45 minutes. He embraced the risk, drew strength from it and even though his goal was accomplished, he continued to push himself further and further. Thus is the experience of The Punch Brothers live. They throw themselves and their instruments at their music. They do it with abandon and yet in a way that feels intimate and inclusive of their audience. Many performers need to create a wall and isolate themselves to focus in a performance. You don't feel that with The Punch Brothers. You feel part of it all. You feel part of something that only exists at that moment in time and is special. That is where the magic really happens. That is the true magic of a live performance when you are lucky. You feel you are part of their musical and personal journey. They are on an evolutionary process that has lead them to their new album 'ANTIFOGMATIC'. With 'ANTIFOGMATIC' they have managed to both continue to push the boundaries of their music further while at the same time making it more accessible. To pull this off with out compromising almost always fails. I think the success of their latest effort has so much to do with where the band members have come from and why they all signed up for the ride. Their music continues to defy categorization and yet there is clearly a signature that is emerging connecting it all. It is truly an Album, a collection of songs that belong together. Something that is far too rare these days. There is no filler here. The opening song 'You Are' sets the mark and the train leaves the station and takes you through a rich array of canvases on which they paint their music. 'Alex' is a personal favorite of mine. It gently builds, adding layers from an almost inaudible 18 second intro, into a song that is so simple and yet so rich with style. 'Missy' could be be the sleeper song of the Album. This song has such a deep soul to its narrative and form. 'Next to the Trash' highlights the wit, whimsy and intelligence that pervades their songs. The closing number 'This is the Song' could easily be the anthem of our time. Somber and haunting. This is the type of Album people used to make when people thought of Albums as a complete work and radio played Album cuts, not singles. The songs are present in the best form possible for the song vs. packaged for radio. It is is a brave move. Clearly a conscious move and one I think they will be recognized for. The production on the album is perfect. It is produced and mixed with such care that it is invisible. Letting the music truly stand on its own. Keeping true to the Bands acoustic nature and producing a work of art that demands your attention. This is a not an album designed for causal listening. It is not designed for the lowest common denominator of a car stereo speaker. This is one of those rare albums that makes you glad you still own a stereo with full range speakers. It ranges from gentle, barely audible passages to jolting in your face jams. It is the first album in years that makes me glad I still own a turntable as you know that this is a work where that the unrestricted range of analog will be explored. (and yes it is being released on Vinyl) The Punch Brothers are genre bending. Breaking through the structural limits of traditional Bluegrass and exploring what it can be from combining rich elements of Classical, Jazz and Rock. They are exploring what they can be as musicians and what they can create as a group, with the whole truly being greater than its parts. The result is feels like Coldplay meets Bluegrass with a dose of Radiohead, XTC and J. S. Bach thrown in. Individually their background is steeped in Bluegrass and Folk but their influences are range the gambit. It is an exciting Journey they are taking and I am enjoying them including their audience on the ride. I hope you hop on and check them out too. I can't wait to see (and hear) where they take us next. Check out 'ANTIFOGMATIC' and get out to see them live.
Just saw these guys last night and immediatly had to come download their songs. Amazing songs, amazing musicians, amazing cd.
This is a great album and you should buy it. It's got everything, for those poor souls who couldn't wrap their heads around the greatness of "Punch" (the bands first album) this album offers you a selection of awesome tunes that you can just turn on and listen to, but it also shows you the great talent and musicianship that you can really dig in to, that the Punch Brothers always bring to the table. Every song sounds great and could easily be the best song one the album if it wasnt for all the other songs. Just buy it and enjoy you cant go wrong.
I saw the Punch Brothers live literally less than two hours ago, and they really do knock your socks off. I don't think that I have ever heard bluegrass music before tonight, and it's not twangy like some people might believe. This album is really enjoyable, and I especially enjoy the videos of them singing live. With live, you get to hear the wonderful vocal combinations that aren't as evident in the recorded music. Alex is one of my favorite songs from them, though the chorus doesn't create the same chills recorded as it does live, is still mystical and enchanting.
