New Avett Brothers music video - "Slight Figure of Speech"

The Avett Brothers have just released the second music video from their album I and Love and You, and this one's fantastic. It's for the song "Slight Figure of Speech," and features a faux home shopping channel called The American Budget Network. Andrew Daly from Reno 911, Eastbound & Down, MAD TV and other shows is the host. The video is a little like "Lithium" by Nirvana. It juxtaposes the Avetts played very still and well behaved with them trashing the set and going crazy. It's really funny, hence it being premiered on Funny or Die. Watch the video below.

Also check out the band's upcoming tour dates below, which still do not include a Triangle date. Good things come to those who wait I guess.
