I like anything the looks like the first person perspective of a moth. So the video for “This Haze” humours me nicely, as well as being happily engaged to the song’s exploration of the tipsy and vaporous plains you find yourself in when you’re half asleep.
Patterns are a Mancunian four-piece that braid their music with field recording, loops, samples and cordial melodies. Their debut album,Waking Lines, sounds like it was made in a den of bedding with a great pillow quota. Released earlier this month, it garnered gold stars from loads of publications, as well as from anyone who’s a fan of Youth Lagoon, Animal Collective and their drone-pop forefathers Cocteau Twins and Jesus and Mary Chain.
