Sometimes as a leader, sometimes as a sideman and collaborator; sometimes as an invisible musician but you&#8217;ve heard him: the chest-high bass drum thump, the tightly paired flight of guitars in odd harmony, the disorienting shift in time and texture that resolves itself into song. Chris Cohen has plied the inside and outside folds of pop musical possibility since at least 1978, when he first set infant drumstick to skin at the tender age of three, initiating decades of sonic experimentation across multiple bands and nearly a dozen recordings.

Michael grew up in Washington state and started playing drums in middle school when he was thirteen years old. While in college at New York University, Michael was a clerk at East Village Record Shop, Other Music, as well as a founding member of the Captured Tracks band Widowspeak, recording parts and touring with the band for their first LP. A few years later, Michael joined EZTV, who are also signed to Captured Tracks. EZTV released their debut album, Calling Out, in July 2015, and will release their sophomore album, High in Place, on September 30, 2016.
