In a collision of musical worlds that few saw coming, Scott and Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers have joined forces with Faith No More’s legendary frontman Mike Patton to form AVTT/PTTN. Their self-titled debut, ‘AVTT/PTTN’, is available now via Thirty Tigers in association with Ramseur Records and Ipecac Recordings. The nine-song project—produced by Patton, Scott Avett, and engineer Dana Nielsen—blends the brothers’ folk sensibilities with Patton’s experimental edge. What began as a secret creative exchange across coasts has resulted in a sound that moves from the gentle three-part harmonies of “Dark Night of My Soul” to a “gloriously gonzo” fuzz-rock rendition of the traditional “The Ox Driver’s Song.” Featuring guest contributions from harmonica virtuoso Mickey Raphael and IDM artist Otto Von Schirach, the album marks a bold departure for all three artists, proving that genuine collaboration knows no genre boundaries.
