All Ashore is the fifth studio album by the American group Punch Brothers, released on July 20, 2018. The band announced the release of the album's first singles "It's All Part of the Plan" and the instrumental "Three Dots and a Dash" on June 14, 2018.[4] The album was self-produced by the band and was released on the Nonesuch Records label.[5] The nine songs were written and recorded in the sequence of the tracklist at the United Sound studio in Los Angeles, California.[6] The album received generally favorable reviews from critics.[7]
After the release of their 2015 album The Phosphorescent Blues the band toured 23 U.S. cities before taking a scheduled hiatus.[9] In October 2016 Punch Brothers frontman Chris Thile became the host of the weekly radio program Live from Here (formerly A Prairie Home Companion) which featured a recurring "song of the week" segment.[10] Thile released ten of these songs in the December 2017 solo album Thanks For Listening.[11]
Writing and recording the songs for All Ashore occurred sequentially, with band member Gabe Witcher describing the process as "In doing so we were really able to construct the narrative, musically and lyrically, throughout the whole process." Recording took place at the United Sound studio in Los Angeles, California.[6]
