AVTT/PTTN - AVTT/PTTN
“The world is a wondrous, mysterious place. You never know when you’re going to turn around and discover that the Avett Brothers went off and made an entire album with Mike Patton.” – Stereogum
“Surely one of the most unexpected collaborations of this (or any) year” – Consequence
“A potent creative exchange” – Relix
“Eternal Love” featured as The Current’s Song of the Day
For the Avetts, working with Patton was more than just a new collaboration — it was a full-circle moment. “Mike’s part of our DNA, like the fabric of our youth,” says Scott. “Literally, we studied him. He’s a dear friend now, but when we were younger, I was imitating him.” Patton adds, “My peculiar challenge in this was to become a long distant cousin. A brother that was orphaned. Maybe they kept him in the chicken coop or some shit. They brought him out years and years later.”
AVTT/PTTN opens with the gentle acoustic guitar of “Dark Night of My Soul,” where Patton’s seasoned croon merges with the Avetts’ voices for a rich three-part harmony. Elsewhere, the driving fuzz of “Heaven’s Breath” and the scuzzy stomp of the folk classic “The Ox Driver’s Song” push the Avetts into new sonic terrain, while showcasing Patton’s trademark dynamic range. Each track reflects the unusual way the record was built — songs sketched by Scott, reshaped by Patton, and then reimagined again with Seth — a process that gave the music its distinct character and balance. Listen to the lead single “Eternal Love” HERE.
What emerged from this partnership is a collision of worlds. AVTT/PTTN is Scott, Seth, and Mike at their most adventurous, writing and singing together without boundaries, and carving out a space that’s entirely their own.
