Ed Helms, star of The Office and a stand-out banjo player in his own right, offers a "Slobbering Rave" of the Punch Brothers and their new album in Paste magazine, where they are today's Artist of the Day. He warns readers that the musical skills exhibited by Punch Brothers in concert and on their new album are just too good for these five players to be human. "Mere human beings could never achieve the Punch Brothers’ musicianship and technical proficiency," writes Helms, who offers proof by describing their music as "an impossibly perfect mixture of down-home charm and staggering sophistication."

For further proof of the band's efforts at world domination, Helms points to the Antifogmatic tune “Rye Whiskey," which, though "simply awesome—fun and uplifting, even witty" is also suspiciously impossible to resist. In the end, Helms is glad to acquiesce to the power of the Punch Brothers, insisting that "this alien band is amazing, and you will no doubt love their music as I do."

Check it all out now at punchbrothers.com.

The band continues its US tour out West this week, performing next at the Myrna Loy Center in Helena, Montana, on Thursday, followed by weekend shows in Wyoming and Colorado. For more on these and other dates, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
