Punch Brothers Tour 2008

Punch is centred around Thile's four-movement composition, 'The Blind Leaving the Blind', which they will be performing on tour. "I had this idea of a long-form composition that was grounded in folk music," Thile explained, "Though much of it reads like a string quintet, there are parts that read like a jazz lead sheet. There is plenty of improvising and lots of stuff that is loosely dictated." Mojo said of the album, 'Punch's speedy elegance and emotional depths counterbalance sheer instrumental craft and dazzle', with the Sunday Express describing the first movement of 'The Blind Leading The Blind as 'the most startling 12 minutes of music I have heard this year.'
