Bruce Hornsby and yMusic have announced the first joint album from their collaborative project BrhyM.

The album, titled Deep Sea Vents, is scheduled for release on March 1 via Zappo Productions/Thirty Tigers.

Deep Sea Vents was produced by Hornsby and yMusic’s Rob Moose, and recorded in Williamsburg, Virginia, and New York.

BrhyM shared the 10-track album’s lead single, “Deep Blue,” on Wednesday.

Speaking about the song, Hornsby said: “yMusic may be the funkiest, groovingest chamber group in all the land! Plus, I’m making my recorded debut as an electric sitarist on this piece — I have a limited range and not much ability, granted, but I feel it added a wry, exotic, and soulful texture to the song, so why not?”

He added, “In eighth grade we had a poetry section in English class, and Stephen Crane (The Red Badge Of Courage) was on the list. For some reason some of my friends and I thought two of his poems were a scream, so we never forgot them, and I couldn’t get them out of my mind after creating this track so just started singing them — voilà. The rest fairly much wrote itself, and Rob [Moose] and CJ [Camerieri] took over from there.”

BryhM is set to kick off its 15-date tour in Urbana, Illinois, on March 7.
