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.

How I Wrote That Song: "Helena": 

 The band, continuing in New York City, performs live on WNYC's Soundcheck and discusses the new album with host John Schaefer today at 2 PM ET. Tune in then at soundcheck.wnyc.org.

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.'"

To pick up a copy of A Dotted Line, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store, where LP (due April 29) and CD orders include a download of the complete album at checkout.

    Listen: Steve Reich on NPR's 'Weekend Edition'

    "People have been calling Steve Reich the greatest living composer for more than 25 years," says NPR's Weekend Edition host Ayesha Rascoe in her introduction to Reich's interview with NPR's Tom Huizenga on the release of the 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works. About the collection, the composer says: "It makes me feel very good ... It's another way of saying the music is going to get out there. The music is going to have a life independent of me ... It's a great thing. And I'm very proud that it happened. And now I'm busily working on the next piece." You can hear them on NPR's Weekend Edition here.

Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels.
