In March of 2020, the members of >odds vs.< reunited virtually to reminisce over unfinished business – three songs that had been in their infancy before the split – and determined to make one final statement. Collaborating remotely, they would revive these songs to create Pivot & Disrupt.

While demonstrating a refinement of the style they honed 16 years prior, these recordings demonstrate the band's growth as musicians and technicians. Recorded in isolation in disparate locations across Minnesota and Texas, these performances were compiled by vocalist/guitarist/engineer John Bongaarts and reimagined with an expanded sonic palette and more ambitious creative expressions, all while capturing the youthful intensity with which these songs were conceived.

This 5 song EP, released in 2004, is the sole output by this Twin Cities based math rock outfit.
