patten will release a new album next month, titled GLOW.

Created entirely during lockdown, GLOW surfs austere, emotive landscapes, with slowly unwinding clusters of interlocking melodies, melding metal riffs, modern classical atmospheres, elegiac synthesizers, shoegaze guitars, and overdriven basslines. It’s entirely beatless, and follows last year’s FLEX, also on 555-5555, and 2016’s Ψ on Warp, which stemmed from live performance.

Helmed by a producer known only as “D,” patten is a solo project purveying an ultramodern potent strain of shapeshifting, prismatic club music. On previous releases Psi and 2017’s Requiem, “D” was joined by a guest vocalist.

GLOW forms 555-5555’s second release, after FLEX.
