Avett Brothers Announce Pre-Order Options for New Album

We've been eagerly awaiting the upcoming Avett Brothers' album, I and Love and You, and recently the guys rewarded our patience with the announcement of several pre-order options for their new record due September 29.

One option for fans is the Deluxe Box, which includes the vinyl LP, an MP3 download of the album and two physical CDs, the new album and a six-song demo disc. Oh, and you also get a heap of goodies to go along with your purchase, like 31 art prints by Brothers Avett Scott and Seth, and a tear-drop bandanna.

Act quick, because the first 1,000 to order the deluxe box get the band's Herbie Hancock on an album cover print.

Every order also gets an MP3 download of the "I and Love and You" three-song single which includes "Laundry Room" and "Kick Drum Heart." Who knew Christmas came in July!
