Following last weekend's performance at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Chris Thile and Michael Daves' next live duo set is slated for mid-July at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, with Thile touring with Punch Brothers until then. In the mean time, you can watch the duo the New York Times called "a rip-roaring partnership" perform five songs off their recently released Nonesuch album, Sleep with One Eye Open, in a session at the Paste offices captured on video.

"It seems that whatever project he immerses himself in, Chris Thile can do no wrong," says Paste's Max Blau. "After bringing his virtuosic talents to bands like Nickel Creek and the Punch Brothers, the heralded mandolinist has now teamed up with guitarist Michael Daves for his next project."

Watch Chris Thile and Michael Daves perform five songs from that next project, Sleep with One Eye Open—"Loneliness and Desperation," "20/20 Vision," "Bury Me Beneath the Willow," "Billy in the Low Ground," and "My Little Girl in Tennessee"—which, says Blau, "captured two musicians who continue to be at the top of their game," at pastemagazine.com.

To pick up a copy of Sleep with One Eye Open, head to the Nonesuch Store, where orders include high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s of the album plus the bonus track "Sophronie" at checkout. For tour information, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

    Hurray for the Riff Raff (aka Alynda Segarra) has released an official music video for their song “Buffalo.” One of many highlights from The Past Is Still Alive—one of The Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, per Pitchfork—“Buffalo” is a love song about survival, patience, miracles, and memories of real people and places that Segarra experienced during trips to New Mexico. In the video, directed by Jeff Perlman, Segarra takes over the Field Museum in their brand new home of Chicago, roams alongside a herd of wild buffalo, and shines a light on extinct and endangered species. Hurray for the Riff Raff also performed the song on The Kelly Clarkson Show. You can watch both here.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is due November 22 on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element. You can watch a video for the seventeen-minute album track "Late Autumn," made by Mikel Patrick Avery, here.
