Nickel Creek has unveiled a new video for "Hayloft," its cover of the Mother Mother song, off its Nonesuch Records debut album, A Dotted Line. The video, directed by Steven Mertens, premiered on The A.V. Club, which says: "The album, A Dotted Line, captured everything great about the acoustic trio without missing a beat. One song stuck out, though," and that's "Hayloft." Watch it here. NPR's Heavy Rotation has named another album track, "Destination," among its 10 Favorite Songs of the Year (So Far).

Nickel Creek—Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, and Sean Watkins—has unveiled a new video for "Hayloft," its cover of the Mother Mother song, off its recently released Nonesuch Records debut album, A Dotted Line. The video, directed by Steven Mertens, premiered on The A.V. Club, which says: "The album, A Dotted Line, captured everything great about the acoustic trio without missing a beat. One song stuck out, though," and that's "Hayloft." You can watch the video here: 

Another track of the new album, “Destination,” has made NPR’s Heavy Rotation panel’s 10 Favorite Songs Of The Year (So Far). “The power-chord-like backing harmonies from Chris Thile and Sean Watkins hit so hard, the notes themselves convey the point the singers are making,” says Folk Alley’s Kim Ruehl. “By the time Sara Watkins' fiddle snakes languidly above the straight-rhythm staccato mandolin, you might forget that this wall of sound could just as likely happen around a single mic.” Read more at npr.org.

Nickel Creek has also just announced the final new dates for its summer tour: Mesa, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Colorado Springs, Colorado, in late August. The Secret Sisters, Sarah Jarosz, and Josh Ritter will be joining the band throughout the tour. See below for the complete list of dates. For details and ticket links, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

    Composer and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire’s honey from a winter stone is out January 17, 2025, on Nonesuch Records. The album, which Ambrose calls a “self-portrait,” features improvisational vocalist Kokayi, pianist Sam Harris, Chiquitamagic on synthesizer, drummer Justin Brown, and the Mivos Quartet. Akinmusire says, “In many respects this entire work is inspired by and is an homage to the work of the composer Julius Eastman and his organic music concept." The opening track, “muffled screams,” is out now.

It includes sixty-five previously unreleased music tracks as well as a forty-eight-page hardcover book with previously unpublished photos and a new liner note by Grammy-winning writer Bob Mehr.

There will also be a new vinyl pressing of the original album in a two-disc package, and a two-CD expanded version of the original album with bonus track highlights from the full deluxe edition repertoire.
