    The Gleam III is sparsely arranged, amplified only by earnest emotion, simple sincerity and undiminished sentiment.

    They've filtered their inheritance through their jam-band generation, and the sound is heavier, muddier at times. [Sep 2020, p.88]

    On The Third Gleam, The Avett Brothers take a step back from all that gloss and shine and just focus on the songwriting, the harmonies and the dynamic between three musicians in a room. Hearing The Third Gleam is like stepping into a sunny, peaceful clearing after hours of running through the woods.

    The Third Gleam poses many questions and offers few answers. But that's OK. This isn't a down-home self-improvement resource or some vanilla background noise you can dip in and out of. It's earnest and raw and surprisingly delicate.

    At their best, The Avett Brothers are transcendent songwriters with the ability to cut right to the soul while delivering perfect musical harmony. The majority of The Third Gleam serves as a reminder of the best qualities that The Avett Brothers can bring.
