Excerpt

Punch Brothers performed two songs off their latest album, Antifogmatic, for Relix magazine, now available online at Relix TV. Today's Sun gives the album four stars, saying, "You’re left thinking this is a new and thrilling form of music. Jazzgrass, anyone?" Maverick magazine also gives it four stars: "Notes buzz like a bee in a jar, scales leap from high to low like a crazed man on a cliff top, and a visceral drama exudes from every playful flourish."

Punch Brothers performed a couple of songs for Relix magazine's Relix TV backstage at Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Head to relix.com to watch the band perform "Alex" and "Don’t Need No," two songs off their latest Nonesuch release, Antifogmatic.

In the UK, where the band was featured on the BBC World Service program The Strand earlier this week, today's Sun gives the album four stars. Though their instrumentation may say bluegrass, these five musicians "take the genre and head off to all sorts of new horizons," says The Sun. "You’re left thinking this is a new and thrilling form of music. Jazzgrass, anyone?" You'll find the review in today's paper.

Another four-star UK review comes from the current issue of Maverick magazine. The band members' "combined musical brain waves," reads the review, "are off the Richter scale. Notes buzz like a bee in a jar, scales leap from high to low like a crazed man on a cliff top, and a visceral drama exudes from every playful flourish." Read more in the Maverick's September issue.

To pick up a copy of Antifogmatic on vinyl, CD, or in the deluxe edition complete with the CD, a live EP, and a DVD, head to the Nonesuch Store.
