75 Dollar Bill

75 Dollar Bill is a musical duo formed in New York City in 2012. Its members are Che Chen (guitar), formerly of True Primes, and Rick Brown (drums), formerly of V-Effect and Curlew.[1] Sasha Frere-Jones described their music as displaying "a certain kind of formal fullness and technical freedom," which he said has helped introduce jazz to a new generation.[1] Other critics have noted that their music shows signs of Mauritanian influences, because Chen studied Moorish music in that country with Jheich Ould Chighaly in 2013.[2] Their first full-length album, Wooden Bag, was released in 2015 by Other Music Recording Company.[3] Their second album, Wood/Metal/Plastic/Pattern/Rhythm/Rock, was released in 2016 on the Los Angeles-based label Thin Wrist.[4]

gollark: Are there ones for other binary formats?
gollark: It's a C program, thus no.
gollark: Yes, it is HIGHLY `-rwxr-xr-x`.
gollark: I thought it might be a filesystem issue of some sort, but then it would just not see it at all, surely?
