The “next new” Avett Brothers album is I and Love and You due out on September 29, 2009 (you can order it online at Amazon.) I’m a relatively recent convert to The Avett Brothers (I’ve recently bought many of their albums and saw them in concert for the first time not long ago) and I must say they are brilliant. And what’s most exciting is that they seem to be getting better with every album.

I say that because my favorite album of theirs is their most recent, 2007′s Emotionalism which I highly recommend you picking up if you haven’t heard it yet. It’s really brilliant all the way through with no weak songs at all.

That’s what makes me so excited about hearing I and Love and You. The progression of the band combined with the fact that I thought their new songs (the few they played from the new album) at their show were among the best of the night.
