Hey!Tonal is the debut album by HEY!TONAL, the project of guitarists, multi-instrumentalists and sound designers Mitch Cheney (Rumah Sakit, Sweep the Leg Johnny) and Alan Mills (Chiisai-oto).

Created between 2006 and 2008 across several cities in the US and France, the album features collaborators Kevin Shea (Storm & Stress), Theo Katsaounis (Joan of Arc), Dave Davison (Maps & Atlases), Kenseth Thibideau (Rumah Sakit, Sleeping People) and Julien Fernandez (Chevreuil).

Originally conceived as Drummers' Perspectives, the project explores a composition process built around rhythm, with drums serving as the starting point for melodies. Drawing on techniques inspired by television editing, Cheney and Mills assembled, reshaped and intertwined guitars, drums and improvised sounds into a richly textured, unpredictable whole.

Originally released on CD by Africantape in 2009, Hey!Tonal has now been remastered and pressed to vinyl for the first time.
