about

An album of fifteen second improvisations that are meant to be complete musical statements on their own, but also function as part of a group. Conceived and executed by That? bassist and vocalist Ryan Donlin and Eric Novak playing as many instruments as they could get their hands on, whether they are trained on it or not.

Assisted on several tracks by friendly faces Jeremy Gruner and Braden Poole-thank them.
