Patio Share "New Reality" From Debut Album "Essentials"
Patio have shared the second single "New Reality" from the band's debut album "Essentials" due out April 5th on Fire Talk Records. Wading in more melodic territory and expanding on the band's knack for raw observational lyricism "New Reality" is just that for Patio. Chugging, and building to a satisfying finale.
“Patio seem to have mastered this writing style that’s both groovy and sharp shooting. The pre-chorus riff is truly an earworm and proves just as cutting and intense as the lyrics.” - Stereogum
Inspired by classic British post-punk, the songwriting of Cate LeBon, and the close-knit Brooklyn DIY community from which the band first sprouted, Patio now release their long-awaited debut full-length Essentials, a fundamental collection of new music for 2019. Building upon the delicacy of the band’s prior work, Essentials presents fuller sounds, heightened emotions, and grander thematic complexity. Its 10 tracks are dark and introspective, yet hopeful, and often humorous—from rambling spoken word meditations to sparkling melodies and soaring riffs. Melodramatic and grotesque expressions abound, as do soft, subtle moments of quiet self-examination. Mixed by Amar Lal (Big Ups, Ovlov) and mastered by Sarah Register (Protmartyr, US Girls)
