Bread Pilot began in 2011 in a Connecticut basement, where high schoolers Taylor Hayden (guitar/vocals), Stephen Ibanez Jr. (guitar/vocals), and Evan House (drums) began regularly playing music together, shattering china cabinets with rhythmic vibrations along the way. Meeting at one of the many basement shows Hayden hosted at his mother’s Southbury home, the three bonded over Animal Collective’s freeform writing style, and discovered their shared appreciation for textured, atmospheric music. 

After years of writing and touring, they tossed out many of their original tunes — hours of long jams, screams, and scattered arrangements — but several pieces still begged for the attention they deserved. Those songs make up New To You, Bread Pilot’s full-length label debut that maps out a decade of memorable places and momentous occasions, while exploring life’s most intimate emotions through detailed and dynamic arrangements.
