Created by <a href="spotify:artist:2wXUKlYvdBHn2MNeRKgG6W">This Heat</a> drummer <a href="spotify:artist:2wDSxU4XnEOY4qS4qpC7Nq">Charles Hayward</a>, About Group is a project where avant and indie meet. In 2009, <a href="spotify:artist:2wDSxU4XnEOY4qS4qpC7Nq">Hayward</a> recruited <a href="spotify:artist:37uLId6Z5ZXCx19vuruvv5">Hot Chip</a>’s <a href="spotify:artist:6zclVXoEfp3nFq4dOgqgOX">Alexis Taylor</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7kKjgMa8afudFmPOu2KHEe">Spring Heel Jack</a>’s John Coxon, and <a href="spotify:artist:0NiVnzdZVyaHThgTofobW2">Derek Bailey</a> collaborator <a href="spotify:artist:0fLVePLNK3rLWUGOazkre3">Pat Thomas</a> for an album of improvisatory music. Credited to <a href="spotify:artist:2wDSxU4XnEOY4qS4qpC7Nq">Hayward</a>/Coxon/<a href="spotify:artist:0fLVePLNK3rLWUGOazkre3">Thomas</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:6zclVXoEfp3nFq4dOgqgOX">Taylor</a>, their album About would appear on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Treader%22">Treader</a> label that same year. A handful of shows would follow, including appearances at Glastonbury and <a href="spotify:artist:47odibUtrN3lnWx0p0pk2P">Ornette Coleman</a>’s Meltdown Festival. In 2010, the quartet reassembled, took on the name About Group, and recorded Start & Complete, an album featuring some more traditional song structures. This second effort was released by the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Domino%22">Domino</a> label in early 2011. A set of improvisations from the Start & Complete sessions was released with the deluxe edition of the band's third album Between the Walls, which continued the more structured direction of their sophomore effort. This was <a href="spotify:artist:2wDSxU4XnEOY4qS4qpC7Nq">Hayward</a>'s final album with the group. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
