We never really had Patterns down as masters of Acoustics and Oneirology. Bedroom dreamers maybe, a Mancunian guitar band of course, but with 'Waking Lines' - the eagerly anticipated debut album - this is a band marking themselves out as true scientists of songcraft. With its array of field recordings, samples, original compositions and an epic haze of spellbinding loops, sonic sparks are set to fly from this thoroughly modern shoegaze-pop record. Patterns' fusion of head and heart may well induce a dreamlike state but across Waking Lines' 10 tracks, every note has been constructed with meticulous focus. This is a band who've always known what they wanted to achieve - a group who together and individually, have spent time honing their craft not to mention their spectacularly colourful live performances into an entity that's indisputably Patterns. From 'This Haze' which was written eschewing male 'indie' singer conventions by thinking of how a woman might sound had she sang instead, right through to 'Our Ego', a song about the use of psychedelic drugs in psychotherapy in the 60s, Waking Lines flawlessly depicts that point where dreams and reality meet. 'Broken Trains' is an anthemic statement of intent, it's driven drum sections cutting like razor-sharp shards of light through water, whilst 'Induction's ethereal tessellations of sound dance like the Northern Lights through a foggy gauze.Heavyweight 180 gram crystal clear vinyl. 3mm outer sleeve, rounded card inner sleeve and includes download coupon.
