In 2009, The Avett Brothers became one of the surprise hits of the year. Paste Magazine considered their I and Love and You the best album of that year, calling it "an overpowering acoustic album brimming with sadness and soul."

Next month, The Avett Brothers release a new album, The Carpenter, which explores the delicate balance between life and death.
