Patio Announce New Album "Collection" Out 9/22, Share "Sixpence"
Patio unveil their new single/video, "Sixpence," and announce their new album, Collection, out September 22nd on Fire Talk.
Raw, dark, and full of piercing emotional depth, Collection — produced and mixed by Nate Amos of Water from Your Eyes — is a radiant collage of shifting identities, sensory illusions, and deconstructed disco grooves. More complex and purposeful than the fragile post-punk of 2019 debut Essentials, the album reflects transition, conceived to flow from “day” (contemplative opener “The Sun”) to “night” (dub-inspired closer “Inheritance”). New sonic influences like disco (Donna Summer, The Bee Gees) and 2000s New York indie (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol) evoke freedom and euphoric joy — maintaining the band’s signature minimalism, but with newfound confidence.
“Sixpence” feels like a chrome-plated update of the elements that made their debut LP so engaging. Built around Suh’s idiosyncratic drumming, the band recreate the tangle of unconventional impulses and ideas that have always made their sound so singular, but there’s a deeper sophistication in their musicianship and arrangement that elevates their incisive songwriting.
