PUNCH BROTHERS’ NEW ALBUM ANTIFOGMATIC, PRODUCED BY JON BRION
OUT JUNE 15 ON NONESUCH / CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED QUINTET ON TOUR NOW
 Punch Brothers |
Punch Brothers return with
their second album, Antifogmatic, June 15 on Nonesuch. The record is the follow-up to the
band’s highly praised 2008 debut, Punch, which The New Yorker calls “…wide-ranging and
restlessly imaginative…” A special deluxe edition of the album will also be available. Included in this package is a
four song instrumental EP, All of This Is True, as well as a seven song DVD, Live from the Lower East
Side: It’s p-Bingo Night!, which was filmed during the band’s residency at NYC’s The Living Room. Pre-orders
of both the standard and deluxe editions are available now at
www.nonesuch.com and
www.punchbrothers.com. The first 500 orders of the
deluxe edition will include an autographed official Punch Brothers cocktail recipe guide.
Punch Brothers’ lineup includes some of the most impressive and widely respected musicians performing today:
Chris Eldridge (guitar), Paul Kowert (bass), Noam Pikelny (banjo), Chris Thile
(mandolin and lead vocals), and Gabe Witcher (fiddle). The Boston Globe says of the band, “…this
top shelf acoustic quintet is a virtuosic revelation,” while the Chicago Tribune says “their breathtaking
virtuosity isn’t about soloing but complex ensemble unity, with a cumulative power that leaves the listener
pleasantly rung out.” The band will tour this spring and summer in support of the album, including stops at the
Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, the Newport Folk Festival and the Mile High Music
Festival. Please see below for dates.
Produced by Jon Brion (Brad Mehldau, Of Montreal, Elliott Smith, Kanye
West), Antifogmatic was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood during
the winter of 2009-2010. While Punch was focused around Thile’s four-movement composition “The Blind Leaving
the Blind”, Antifogmatic‘s 10 songs were written collaboratively by the band. Of the process, Witcher
explains, “We knew we needed a producer equally as well versed in pop and rock as in instrumental music, and I
don’t think there is anyone more able to capture and communicate the essence of this material than Jon Brion.”
