Claude says:The Avett Brothers' 2006 breakthrough caught them at that perfect moment between scrappy folk-punk and full-throttle country rock—all banjos and ragged earnestness before they became the arena-ready version of themselves. You found your way to it in 2012 and kept returning to "If It's the Beaches," that song's desperate energy apparently the one that stuck, while the rest of the record got occasional spins but never quite the same gravitational pull.
