Exclusive Song Premier: The Avett Brothers, 'Another is Waiting'

Courtesy of the artist

It hasn't been 11 full months since the Avett Brothers relaeased The Carpenter, the North Carolina band's most recent collection of bluegrass-inflected folk-rock. Given the length touring cycle that each major release generally spawns, fans had no reason to expect new music this year. 

And yet here we are, on the brink of another full-length Avett Brothers record. Magpie and the Dandelion is due to be released on October 15th. Fans won't have to wait for the full release to sample the music on the new record. NPR Music brings you and exclusive stream of the new album's first single, "Another is Waiting."

Stephen Thompson is a writer, editor and reviewer for NPR Music, where he speaks into any microphone that will have him and appears as a frequent panelist on All Songs Considered. Since 2010, Thompson has been a fixture on the NPR roundtable podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour, which he created and developed with NPR correspondent Linda Holmes. In 2008, he and Bob Boilen created the NPR Music video series Tiny Desk Concerts, in which musicians perform at Boilen's desk. (To be more specific, Thompson had the idea, which took seconds, while Boilen created the series, which took years. Thompson will insist upon equal billing until the day he dies.)
