The Avett Brothers release The Second Gleam - six new songs offered with the natural lyrical clarity and honest delivery that has become
synonymous with their name. With this addition to their growing body of
work, Scott and Seth Avett establish a series, while further separating
their writing from the modern landscape of music, popular or otherwise.
Following in the initial footsteps of the first Gleam recording, this second installment sings to the uncommon senses of the common man. The
record walks calmly and powerfully among fragile and hard-learned themes
of life and song, passing through loss, change, hope, death, dedication
to family, late nights in the hospital, love as always, and much more.
At once plain and poetic, simple and complicated as those who will give
their time to hear it, we find: The Second Gleam.
Release date July 22, 2008.
