Sumac finds him in collaboration with Baptists drummer Nick Yacyshyn for the release of their first album The Deal, brought forth by the ever consistent label Profound Lore. It should also be noted that the backbone that is the bass portion of the album was laid down by Brian Cook of Russian Circles, Botch and These Arms Are Snakes.

But The Deal isn’t an exercise in self-involved nostalgia; where his other projects largely homed in on carefully constructed frameworks, Sumac takes its strengths from a powerful fragmentation. Though listed as an "auxiliary" member, bassist Brian Cook provides a point of reference for the music’s hollowed-out qualities. Cook’s playing with Russian Circles, in addition to his past work with These Arms Are Snakes and Botch, has seen him at his most commanding when manipulating the lower end of the sound’s spectrum. That bellicosity is The Deal’s underpinning, giving the album a common thread to ground its otherwise improvisational focus. Venturing into free form is a bold move, especially given that with few exceptions, the other projects for the band's members are built around directed compositional frameworks.
