Chris Thile, Noam Pikelny, Chris Eldridge, Gabe Witcher, & Paul Kowert are back with another innovate, progressive acoustic release, this time addressing "the power and the pitfalls of our super-connected era. This theme of digitally-fueled isolation is described by Thile: “Going out after shows, we’d go to bars that were loud, where the music may not be ideal, to be around other people, to get a sense of the world for a second. And I’d see people just like me on their phones, telling people they wish they were there, texting people who really are there. Then some song would come on in real time and some person knows that song and then they see that someone else does too and maybe they both sing it together and that moment is spiritual, some shared experience, and they are interacting in three dimensions, in the flesh, with their fellow man. And that’s communion. ‘Familiarity’ and other songs on this record dive into that: how do we cultivate beautiful, three-dimensional experiences with our fellow man in this day and age?”
