How's Your Process? (Play) is the second part of the second studio album[1] by alternative rock band Dot Hacker and the second of a two-album series. The album was released on October 7, 2014 on ORG Music label in digital, CD, cassette, and 12″ vinyl formats.[2]

Josh Klinghoffer stated in an interview that How's Your Process was intended to be released as a single album, but was split into two when the band could not agree on which songs to include:[3]

No one could agree on which songs to take off and no one could agree on what running order to put them [...] at some point John suggested we do two albums and break 'em up into two albums, six songs each [...] All the songs are so dense and there's lots of sounds to take it that it really made sense to give one group first and the second, a thirty minute record, a couple months later. They made us give them these parenthetical names, but they're really just two halves of the same record.

Klinghoffer also revealed that the cover is a photograph by Ryszard Horowitz, which the band discovered in an article from a 1969 issue of Esquire magazine.[4][2]
