The Avett Brothers — led by siblings Scott and Seth — have the rare gift of understanding the voice as a musical instrument and not just icing on top. Nowhere is that more clear on their 10th album than the Simon and Garfunkel-esque "Tell the Truth." And it's always worth listening to what the lead vocals have to say. Folksy "We Americans" wonders if you can be patriotic while also wrestling with the ugliness of slavery and "the arrogance of Manifest Destiny." "C Sections and Railway Trestles" uses childbirth for clever wordplay: "You came out looking like a Smurf in a battle/Me in the nosebleeds, mama in the saddle." The piano pop of "Bang Bang" makes a gorgeous bed to lament about moving to the country for peace and quiet — only to live next to armed neighbors "pretending to be Rambo." Perhaps the most delightful surprise is the opener: The Avetts doing '70s rock might suggest some Southern jam session, but with stomping drums and searing guitars, not to mention a piano breakdown and epic build back up, "Bleeding White" is worthy of Queen. © Qobuz
