Seen Your Video: Live "Laundry Room" and "I and Love and You" by the Avett Brothers

You know that song that is so haunting, or beautiful, or somehow so moving to you that it gives you goosebumps each and every time you hear it? I have only a few of those but The Avett Brothers' "Laundry Room," and more recently, "I & Love & You," are definitely two high on the list. It's the beauty of their music, sure...hell, Metallica could use cello and piano in one of their songs and I'm sure it would sound haunting...but it's also the stories of longing and resignation in each of these Avett tunes that, paired with their otherworldly harmonies, could move even the most calloused of hearts.

Blissfully, these two tracks are on their forthcoming record, also titled "I & Love & You," out in September.

These videos are from the Avett's recent stop in DC which BL&L covered and photographed (see those here).

Avett Brothers Release Cover Art and Title Track to Forthcoming Record

Those wandering folk punks, The Avett Brothers, released a few goodies today like cover art (above) and a track listing (below) from their forthcoming release, I and Love and You, due out in September. They've been playing many of the new record's tracks in their concerts, so if you've been lucky enough to catch them live in the past year or so, you've probably heard a majority of the record already. Having seen them a few times now since September now myself, I can assure you this will be one record you shouldn't miss.

Show photos and whatnot from The Avett Brothers' recent DC show can be seen here.
