BOBBY is a cooperative musical project based on the talents of musicians from Partisan Records and Knitting Factory Records, which is notable for achieving an avant garde alternative sound using polyrhythm as well as achieving critical acclaim before releasing their first album entitled Bobby. They signed on with Partisan Records in 2010.
The group is composed of seven musicians, some who are members of other bands, and collaborate on experimental acoustic folk and synthesizer-based sounds. Some members work with other established bands, including Molly Sarle and Amelia Meath of Mountain Man. The music has experimental rhythms in which multiple meters are superimposed on one another so that "each song can be felt in different time signatures." The group performs with numerous effects pedals, numerous synthesizers, and a Rhodes keyboard.

Fun trivia fact, all but one of the band members went to Bennington College, the inspiration for Camden College in Bret Easton Ellis' book The Rules of Attraction.
