the punch brothers are nothing less than a youthful band comprising the most prodigious and sought-after musicians from the cutting edge of bluegrass and folk. the quintet was brought together by former nickel creek star chris thile, joining him are chris eldridge, a member of the infamous stringdusters; bassist greg garrison; banjo player noam pikelny, who also appears on kd lang's new disc 'watershed'; and fiddle player gabe witcher, who has featured, on the oscar-winning soundtracks of babel and brokeback mountain. at the heart of this remarkable group's debut is thile's most formidable work yet, 'the blind leaving the blind,' a long-form, four-movement piece that combines the rigor of classical composition, the improvisatory excitement of jazz and the gather-round-the-mic intimacy of a traditional bluegrass session. 'the blind...' is as ambitious in its story-telling as in its instrumental arrangements, with thile rendering a deeply personal tale of a failed relationship and lost faith through impressionistic lyrics that fall somewhere between a confession and a late-night, barstool soliloquy. thile's lyrics evoke loneliness, desire and betrayal.
