Punch Brothers is the newest musical outlet of former Nickel Creek mandolinist/vocalist Chris Thile. I featured a song from their 2008 debut Punch, a couple years ago. Punch Brothers released their sophomore effort Antifogmatic back in July. The album does a great job of blending traditional bluegrass with elements of pop and even rock. In fact, when Thile breaks into the chorus of the opening track “You Are,” it's not difficult to imagine him fronting an indie band with loud guitars and pounding drums. Thile has always had a strong voice with an amazing range, and it shows throughout Antifogmatic. Punch Brothers are experts at the dynamic shift, with songs that turn on dime and take you somewhere you didn't expect. “Rye Whiskey” finds Punch Brothers at perhaps their most traditional on the record, but it is a very fun song that you can't help humming along to.Punch Brothers - "Rye Whiskey"
