AVTT/PTTN - AVTT/PTTN (The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Scott and Seth Avett are the brothers behind the chart-topping, Grammy-nominated band The Avett Brothers. Mike Patton is the journeyman rock icon best known as the frontman of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. These three are proud to unveil a new album and project. Together, they are AVTT/PTTN. AVTT/PTTN finds these three kindred spirits on equal footing as songwriters and collaborators, no one party seeming to hold greater creative influence over the other. Throughout the record, there's an ease and musical seamlessness to how these first-time collaborators lock in with each other. After the secret labor of making AVTT/PTTN was finished, the emotional weight of the project-it's beauty and it's vulnerability-finally landed on all three of them. In Mike, the Avett brothers had found a collaborator with whom they could cut the small talk and dig deep right away. They made music born from mutual respect, trust, and an inherent understanding of where each person was coming from.
