@harrisoncrabfeathers LOVE the dissonance & the syncopation...these guys are true musical geniuses & their musicianship is IMPECCABLE.........

@redmosqito1 AGREED!! Noam Pikelney IS the best banjo player "this side of the moon" !! & Chris Thiole is the best mandolin player in the entire universe (or is itn't it 'multiverse' now??) PUNCH BROTHERS RULE ;)

This guys is not playing a broken Mando you twit. The song is awesome, the lady is a tramp. Noam Pikelny is the best Banjo player this side of of the moon. Eat it!

Wow... How exactly would you know that wierdOne1977? Seriously, did you sit down with Mr. Thile and ask him? The more I listen to this song the more I hate it. I love the Punch Brothers, but absolutely hate this song, because it's ike, "Yep, she's a whore" but any guy that does the same thing is NEVER chastised for it, in a song or otherwise.
To quote the song "I'm not sayin...Just sayin...."

I love this song! It'sboth bizar and musically brilliant!

It sounds so wrong for all the right reasons.
Dissonance never sounded so...harmonious.

the album "Punch" outlines the story of Chris Thile's divorce... it opens with this song, Punch Bowl... IF you listen to the words, you find out that this song is about the night his (then) wife went to a party and got drunk on punch... she then slept with some fellow...
the dissonant chords are when the song is about her.... when they go to the pretty "Major" chords... that's him speaking from his point of view....
it truly is genius.... go buy the album.... then you'll understand....

It's intentionally dissonant.
If you listen to the last note the play together, it has every note in the scale, like mashing every key in a scale on a piano at once.
