The debut album from AVTT/PTTN, a collaboration between The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton. The album is being released on Thirty Tigers in association with Ipecac Recordings and Ramseur Recordings. The Ipecac Bandcamp store and webstores have an exclusive vinyl variant with alternate artwork.
In 2019, Scott Avett and Mike Patton began communicating after Avett mentioned his admiration of Patton in an interview which caught the eye of Patton's management team. Patton told Avett the door was open for collaboration should Avett ever be interested. A year or so later, Avett sent some song demos to Patton that blew him away. The trading of songs and sounds continued between The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton until several years later, they had a full album of songs—and AVTT/PTTN was born.
AVTT/PTTN is Scott Avett, Seth Avett, and Mike Patton.

I did the photograph used inside the gatefold on vinyl and CD as well as the backdrop photographs for live TV when AVTT/PTTN played CBS Saturday Sessions 251206. The artwork with photocollages and the cover design is done by Martin Kvamme.
The photographs are from Moutmarka in Færder National Park, Norway where I have lived and worked for the last ten years. Færder National Park is a distinctive archipelago landscape in the outer Oslo Fjord that is the result of the work carried out by the enormous ice masses from the Ice Age.
The pictures are shot close to local well named points of interest Verdens Ende (World’s End) and Faenshølet (Devils/Damn Hole).
