Punch Brothers, while in Minneapolis on their winter tour, stopped by Minnesota Public Radio's The Current on Sunday to talk with host Bill DeVille about their new album, The Phosphorescent Blues, and perform three songs off the album: I Blew It Off," "Magnet," and "Julep." You can watch their performance of "I Blew It Off" below and hear the conversation and performance at thecurrent.org.

The current leg of the tour continues through the weekend, with performances along the Northeast: in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Portland. The next leg of the North American tour kicks off in Vancouver on March 25. The band has just announced a new series of dates this summer, for which they will join Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn in Ohio, New York, and Virginia.

The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot, previewing their recent Chicago set, calls the new album a "genre-busting melange of avant-roots music that fuses jazz instrumental chops and acoustic earthiness, Beach Boys harmonies and Debussy string dances, slinky acoustic rock songs and blues laments." Boston NPR member station WBUR, previewing this Friday's show at the House of Blues there, calls Punch Brothers' new album "their most diverse and joyously inventive album to date."

The pick up a copy of The Phosphorescent Blues, head to iTunes, Amazon, the Punch Brothers shop, or the Nonesuch Store, where CD and LP orders included a download of the complete album at checkout and the HD digital version of the album is also available to purchase.
