I and Love and You

Wednesday. Hump day. Not the beginning of the week and not the end. In my opinion Wednesday is a good day. And a good day calls for good music, so here it is. Considering my marathon post yesterday, I’m going to quiet it down tonight. Just a little Avett Brothers and than a little (or a lot) of bed.

The Avett Brothers. A pretty awesome band if you ask me. A little country, a little alt-country, a whole ‘lotta bluegrass, and just a pinch of folk, not to mention a large portion of talent. All of that combined gives you The Avett Brothers, consisting of well the brothers Scott and Seth, oh and some other people too. I can’t say I’ve listened to a ton of their music, but what I’ve listened to hasn’t disappointed, actually its had quite the opposite effect. At first I only knew their song Kick Drum Heart and what a good song it is, with its fantastic shouting and of course the kick drum, but a few days ago (during a thunderstorm of course) I was introduced to a new Avett Brothers song called I and Love and You, the title song of their latest CD. It’s a fantastic song (especially for a thunderstorm). At first I wasn’t crazy about it, but after quite a few listens it really grew on me. It went from whiny alt-country crap, to a really awesome and fun song (still with some alt-country minus the crap). I’m not sure whether Brooklyn is a person or the place, but either way its good.Imagine whatever you want with it, its good music for that.

To me The Avett Brothers is what would come out of the meeting of The Burning Hell and Rock Plaza Central. They’ve got a little bit of The Burning Hells crazy rhythm and beats and Rock Plaza Centrals vocals. Of course they’ve also got themselves to, which is a pretty good thing to have.

Below is the video for I and Love and You. Words cannot explain how much I love this song right now. Listen to it now, and than again and again. If you don’t get it the first few times keep trying I promise you at some point you will see the light, and hopefully a pretty freaking awesome song.

I wasn’t sure about this video at first but it’s really growing on me. There’s nothing much to it, but maybe that’s a good thing. I especially love the singing crowds at the end, apparently their audience is pretty passionate about their music to. I love that. Anyways enjoy the video and their song, and check out more. I’m slowly listening to more and really liking it as well. Especially check out Kick Drum Heart, but for now goodnight, and farewell until next time.
