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. None of the three members of this freshly minted collective quite remember how they first made contact. Mike seems to remember receiving a letter from Scott, and as a fan of the Avett Brothers’ records, he decided to respond. Scott doesn’t remember this; he and Seth seem to recall talking about their love of Mr. Bungle and Faith No More on a podcast. Maybe that’s how the first spark happened? None of them are particularly curious or interested in their origin story. Somehow they all found themselves on a two-way street of mutual musical admiration, and through an open line of frequent communication, an album was born. That’s what matters. 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.
