introducing: emotionalism

Latest obsession: The Avett Brothers. Their latest album is truly amazing. Their sound is quite unique, that cannot be done justice with my words. Their lyrics are nothing less than poetry, and their live recordings are brilliant. They may be too twangy for some, but I am quickly falling in love, and this is one of the reasons:

"This is a time where playing it cool is the way to be. It is a time where people are taught to hold back, to keep their best tricks up their tightly-buttoned sleeves, to guard their love. The days of sonnets spoken to girls in unreachable balconies are behind us, replaced with the new coldness; maybe I'll call you, maybe I won't. In a modern setting where even the satire is satirized, love becomes weakness, tears become a punch line, real laughter a vulnerability, marriage a surrender.

The Avett Brothers introduce 'Emotionalism' today in this very time; a record that marks their position in a livid stance against such mentality."
