Leo Kottke & Mike Gordon released their new album Noon on Friday, Aug. 28. Along with the release, the duo have shared a performance of “Flat Top” from the record.

The video was recorded in two separate locations, with Kottke in Minneapolis, Minn. and Gordon in Burlington, Vt. “Flat Top” was written by Kottke.

Kottke and Gordon discussed the new record and their collaboration with American Songwriter. In the piece, Gordon and Kottke revealed that Phish drummer Jon Fishman played on a number of songs for the record. “Kottke is also longtime friends with Fishman and pushed for his inclusion,” read the piece. “Leo was really intrigued to get us together,” Gordon told American Songwriter. “We have 2,000 concerts, etc., of telepathy. Fish is really a unique drummer. He has all these grooves that he’s working on constantly, that have all these patterns from all these different genres. I just said, ‘We want you to do your thing.’”

Kottke took the opportunity to elaborate on his and Gordon’s collaborative relationship. “Mike likes to write a lot of stuff and then throw out the shit that doesn’t hold up the next day,” Kottke told AS. “He works that way. I can’t do that. I’m always just farting around and eventually stumbling over something. It rings your bell, you play it into the ground and that will make something else happen. We’re an odd couple. ‘Cause he’s a Pachinko machine and I’m paint drying. And it seems to meet somewhere in the middle.”

Noon marks the duo’s first collaboration since 2005’s Sixty Six Steps, and it is also Kottke’s first studio album of any kind since then.

Ahead of Noon‘s release, the duo shared the singles “Ants” and “I Am Random.”
