2018's The Escape Team is an album set of ultra-vivid musical portraits inspired by the comic book The Escape Team Issue #1 created by long-time TMBG visual collaborator David Cowles. The 11 colorful tracks move from the cartoon violence of the book's Big Daddy Roth-inspired origins to melancholy. Includes "The Poisonousness" with Robin Godwasser, "Jackie the Chipper," "Chip the CHiP" and eight more haunting tracks.
