Premiere: Pat Thomas – Alternator

Most of us have known and loved Pat Thomas for his undeniable work in indie rock band Cool Ghouls. He’s already made some music on his own, we loved it of course, and he’s about to release more new music under his own name. Previewing his new album, out today, is this new track “Alternator”. You’ll find yourself engrossed by the chill, swaying psych vibe of the short three minute song. Some may also find the message of changing the way you act or feel and accepting love/positivity in your life as vital in the current world we live in. I know I do.

Pat Thomas release his new album I Ain’t Buyin’ It today on Empty Cellar Records. You should buy it.

 

Pat Thomas Steps Out On His Own

patindapark.143638Earlier this year I praised the work of Cool Ghouls, who released their self-titled album earlier this year, but I’m here to talk about one of the group’s primary songwriters, Pat Thomas.  For me, it would do enough that his Coasters Riding in the Air EP was recorded by Sonny Smith, but the single below clearly illustrates that he’s more than just the product of a producer’s magic touch.  It’s got this West Coast swagger to it, allowing the breezy quality of that area to sink into this casual number.  The only problem is that he’s only got six songs recorded; if they’re this enjoyable that might not be enough. You can grab the release from Empty Cellar Records on December 3rd.
