Creative Pop from Pattern Is Movement

Photo by Peter EnglishIt’s been almost six complete years since we last heard the music of Pattern Is Movement, but we’re all welcoming their triumphant return.  When I listen to this song, I hear a lot of similarities between what the group is doing and what’s been done by Dirty Projectors.  That being said, the edges here are softer, not nearly as angular.  That doesn’t mean that you’re not going to find yourself enthralled by the world the band has created on their new self-titled effort.  It’s being released on April 1st by Hometapes, and they’ve got several great shows lined up for SXSW.

R&B Influenced Jam from Pattern Is Movement

PatternIsMovement-PeterEnglish-72I’m still amazed at what two dudes can accomplish with today’s modern recordings processes, which is why I think I’m really drawn to the latest track from Pattern Is Movement.  The vocal definitely harkens to the alluded R&B touch, especially when you combine that with the modern auto-tune usage, but I just dig the construction of the song itself.  It’s got this smooth vibe to it, and as it unfolds, it offers more little musical bits than one would expect from two people.  You’ll find this tune on the duo’s upcoming 12″ for Hometapes; this is a stop-gap before the band release their new LP in early 2014.

stvincentEveryone’s favorite indie songstress Annie Clark (known as St. Vincent) will be making another much anticipated stop in Austin on Friday.  First up is one of those famous free Waterloo Records in-stores going down at 3pm with free keg beer of course.  Second is a chance for a full on proper set at Mohawk beginning at 9pm with openers Pattern is Movement.  Tickets for this show will run ya $17 and can be bought online now.  If you’re planning on making it out, stick around after the St. Vincent set for an inside show by our new favorite Austin band Sad Accordions.
