Nickel Creek—Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, and Sean Watkins—whose new album, A Dotted Line, was released earlier this week on Nonesuch Records, performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC last night. The group, reuniting for the first time since its 2007 "indefinite hiatus," performed "Destination," off the new album, and gathered for a web-exclusive video to discuss how they wrote their song "Helena," off their last record, Why Should the Fire Die?, and to perform the track. Watch both videos below.

This weekend, you can catch Nickel Creek on television again, on CBS This Morning Saturday, and back on the radio as guests on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, broadcast live from The Town Hall in New York City. The band kicks off a tour of the United States on April 16; for details and tickets, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

The Los Angeles Times's Mikael Wood calls the new a "gripping" and suggests that "if Nickel Creek’s new music took root in retrospection, it didn’t stay there. Fresh energy—and fresh ideas—course through A Dotted Line ... [T]hese eight originals and two covers suggest that the unique chemistry between Thile and the Watkinses is still deepening. They’ve never blended their voices more thrillingly than they do on 'Rest of My Life' or more tenderly than in their rendition of Sam Phillips’ 'Where Is Love Now.'"
