Title - 'The Third Gleam'
Artist - The Avett Brothers

For those not in the know, The Avett Brothers will be releasing their brand new album, The Third Gleam on August 28th, 2020 via Loma Vista.

The album - which follows their tenth studio album, Closer Than Together from last year - sees the band returning to their roots, playing as a trio with longtime bassist Bob Crawford.

While recorded ahead of the pandemic and the social reform movements that have swept the nation, the eight-song collection captures the band’s personal experiences and perspectives on themes that are undeniably universal and timely: isolation, gun violence, incarceration, historical prejudice, and mortality, along with resilience, love, faith, hope and redemption.

Twelve years in the making, the third installment of their ongoing Gleam series sees the brothers continuing to share what’s on their minds and in their hearts as their lives, relationships, and the world around them continue to evolve, and offering a speck of light gleaming in what appears to be a relatively long and dark night.

1. 'Victory'
2. 'I Should’ve Spent The Day With My Family'
3. 'Prison To Heaven'
4. 'Back Into The Light'
5. 'Women Like You'
6. 'Untitled #4'
7. 'I Go To My Heart'
8. 'The Fire'

This quite breathtakingly raw, honest, open and lushly orchestrated album opens with the melodic intimate lead single, 'Victory' and backs that up with the catchy ambiance of 'I Should’ve Spent The Day With My Family,' the harmonized bounce of 'Prison To Heaven' and then a track about stepping outside of ones personal shadows, the liberatingly magnificent 'Back Into The Light.'

Next up is the infectious hipsway of 'Women Like You,' one of my own personal favorites, the dual acoustic guitar work of 'Untitled #4,' with the album rounding out with the gentle foot-tapper 'I Go To My Heart,' closing on the, at times, haunting piano, always wordsmith profound, and more of their metaphoric light-in-darkness theme, 'The Fire.'

Billboard has observed, “At their core, the brothers are artists and documentarians, sharing little pieces of what they see and feel by means of song,” and throughout the eight songs on the album, the band reflects on their personal experiences and perspectives on themes that are inevitably anchored in our current world: injustice, gun violence, and mortality, as well as resilience, redemption, and hope.
