Vanity Fair has Q&A with Avett Brothers

Here's the Vanity Fair Q&A with the Avett Brothers. Sample:

How is I and Love and You a change from Emotionalism and your earlier albums?

Bob: Normally, we’ll finish an album and I’ll listen to it three or four times, but this one I’ve listened to like 12 times already. And this one, there is a ladder-like maturing and evolution.

Scott: We always have to progress and grow or we have to stop.

Where do you see yourselves in the future—down the road?

Seth: Just like a person’s own personal life, you want to see it go a certain way but you can’t plan too much or you might get so blown away by how different it was than you thought it might be.

Scott: You have to be capable of walking away at anytime. It’s good to be able to say, “You know, we can always do something else.” I think we’re setting ourselves up to not need that option and to work as long as we want to, but it’s a good option to have.... We’re at a good age to have a good perspective on what we are and how fragile life is.
