Patterns are creating beautiful electronic drone pop that makes you feel like youre flying. The beautiful fusion of guitars, vocals, intelligent samples and beats are the perfect soundtrack to any daydream. This four-piece from Manchester is making evocative noises that are brimming with nostalgia.
Ciaran McAuley and Laurence Radford are both from London and Alex Hillhouse and Jamie Lynch are from the Wirral. They all met at Manchester University and started making music together.
They came across their fourth member, Alex Hillhouse, when they had a last-minute gig lined up, but no bassist. Luckily, Lynch knew someone who could fill the job. So the next day Hillhouse met the rest of Patterns and learned their entire set.
The band explains: "It seemed to work so we kept him and found out he had a mean falsetto to him." Perfect.
