Patterns is the first LP (released Oct.’12) from the VA based indietronica artist So Spirited. It reminds me a little of M83’s earliest works before he went all hippy-dippy-sleepytime-lullaby-shit. Not to stray from the point, Patterns is 10 well crafted tracks of ambient glitchtasticness.
This is one of those rare albums where an entire listen through can be successfully achieved without hitting the next button. I was lost in a sea of synths, and loved every second of it. Tracks that highlighted that journey include "Myths", "SmokeSignal", and "WildLives."
I expect to hear a lot more from this artist in the coming year, and hope to see a residency for ’em at U Hall perhaps? –Dawn
