Nonesuch Records releases Punch Brothers’ five-song EP, Ahoy!, on November 13, 2012. Recorded during the Nashville sessions for their critically acclaimed 2012 album Who’s Feeling Young Now?, these tracks also were produced by Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse). The Los Angeles Times said Who’s Feeling Young Now?’s “rich and evocative tracks capture a white-hot musical mind coming into his own and collaborating with stellar peers,” and Rolling Stone said, “The acoustic framework dazzles—wild virtuosity used for more than just virtuosity.”

The EP includes songs by Josh Ritter (“Another New World”), Gillian Welch and David Rawlings (“Down Along the Dixie Line”), Punch Brothers (“Squirrel of Possibility”), and Mclusky (“Icarus Smicarus”), along with one traditional tune, arranged by Punch Brothers (“Moonshiner”). Pre-orders, which include an instant download of the track “Another New World,” are available at punchbrothers.com and here in the Nonesuch Store; a limited number of CDs at both sites will be signed by the band. You can preview "Another New World" below.

Punch Brothers close out the fall leg of their US tour this week, after which they head to Germany for three shows with Nonesuch label mates Carolina Chocolate Drops, followed by shows in France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The band returns to North America at the end of November for the next leg of its tour, which wraps up with a three-night New Year’s Eve run at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom, December 29–31. See all of the currently scheduled dates below; for additional details and ticket links, go to nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Punch Brothers made their New Yorker Festival debut earlier this month. The band’s recent TV and radio appearances include the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Show with David Letterman, and A Prairie Home Companion; the band also taped its first Austin City Limits session, which will premiere on PBS stations across the US on Saturday, November 3.

    The Way Out of Easy, the new album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Jay Bellerose—is now available on all streaming platforms. Upon the album's physical release last month, it debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, and Pitchfork named it Best New Music, saying: "The vibe is laid-back, but it rewards rapt attention ... This exceptional record fixes your attention on the present moment."

Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes twenty-four discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels.
