Reviews

Drowned in Sound
“changed their name and released the disarmingly wonderful ‘New Noise EP’ at the back end of the year with long running zine and promoter Pull Yourself Together. Its four tracks managed to inject the sort of emotional sincerity into its hypnagogic ambience that so many others this year had forgotten to include.”
ManchesterMusic.co.uk Record of the Month December 2010
“this is their step up to the next level. This is important. On record, they’re far more electronic than they have ever sounded live, even if they have been shifting in this direction. And it’s a welcome shift – this is no tiresome hipster electro, this is the sound of a band realising the vision that’s probably always been there. And it’s immense. It’s warm and glowing enough to slip into a shoegazer’s dreams (the lovely “Wrong Two Words”, in particular) but with just enough twitch and glitch to stop it floating away in the breeze.”

The Pigeon Post
“a wonderful, Mew-esque slice of electronica, like if Delphic had decided to do something a little more interesting with Acolyte. Majestic, languid and utterly masterful in it’s delivery, the band pump out Wrong Two Words like they’ve spent their career making synth pop for weirdos.”

Folly of Youth
“Patterns are now inhabiting a light and spacious loft apartment with colour-drenched canvases adoring the walls. On these four songs they are catching at the tailcoats of this year’s Deer Hunter or Toro Y Moi albums. This is immediately evident from the blissful textures of ‘Broken Train’, delicately floating vocals over sleigh bells and pulsing guitars. The soothing waft of ‘Wrong Two Words’ and then ambient drift of ‘New Noise’ progressively slow things down before sombre steady throb ‘Fly to NY’ completes the record. There’s plenty of this stuff about in 2010 but it’s good to hear a new young Manchester band taking on the Yanks at their own game and coming up trumps. In fact if this released on Captured Tracks, Car Park or Animal Collective’s Paw Tracks label it would probably be guaranteed some hipster endorsement on both sides of the Atlantic.”

Ribbons & Leaves Top Tracks of 2010 – December
“Overall, the sound is electronic yet organic, reminiscent of Warp-style IDM filtered through layers of experimentalist tradition from My Bloody Valentine to Sigur Ros, and as fleetingly and uniquely perfect as a natural phenomenon, a lightning bolt or a snowflake. Concentration and attention to detail are the keys to unlock its complexity. This music is of the type you listen to alone, on headphones, in a dark and otherwise silent room.”

Snipe London
“Good proper old-fashioned paper ‘zine Pull Yourself Together have started a label. Their first release is a fantastic offering from Patterns – four beautiful, undulating ambient pop songs.”

    Afraid not, this was a limited edition CD and download release. Their new single, Induction, is available on 7″ from Melodic Records.
