A New Brain follows the story of Gordon Schwinn, a struggling, frustrated songwriter who suffers from a rare brain disorder that causes him to hallucinate, amongst other things, a tyrannical singing, dancing frog. This was our unofficial start - working together as a part of the Aurora AppCo Alumni Series gave us the hunger to keep creating together.
