Pattern-Seeking Animals – Pattern-Seeking Animals (2LP/CD)This release is 2LPs on 180g black vinyl with CD included. Pattern-Seeking Animals is a new quartet featuring the talents of current & former Spock’s Beard members Ted Leonard, Jimmy Keegan & Dave Meros, as well as long-time contributing songwriter-producer John Boegehold. The band has signed to InsideOutMusic for the release of their self-titled debut album.Of the musical direction, Boegehold comments: “My goal was to produce music that’s progressive and intricate while keeping things immediate and melodic. Whether a song is four minutes or ten minutes long, I didn’t want more than a few bars go by without some kind of instrumental or vocal hook.”Originally a vehicle for a few tracks John had been working on in early 2018, he quickly came up with enough music to work towards producing an album. With that in mind, he enlisted the talents of Jimmy Keegan (drums & vocals), Ted Leonard (vocals & guitar) & Dave Meros (bass), with Boegehold handling all the synths. He adds: “Besides live strings on a few songs and a female backing vocalist on another, it was all done between the four of us with Dave and Ted ending up as co-written some of the material.”With the band obviously being closely associated with Spock’s Beard, John was conscious of exploring different avenues with Pattern-Seeking Animals, whether it was song structures, vocal arrangements, synth sounds or emotional textures. “Pattern-Seeking Animals was a clean slate so I found myself drawing on a few different musical influences and using some contemporary production ideas and sounds that I probably wouldn’t use with SB for various reasons.” Tracks: Side A: No Burden Left To Carry The Same Mistakes Again Side B: Orphans Of The Universe No One Ever Died And Made Me King Side C: Fall Away These Are My Things We Write The Ghost Stories Side D: No Land’s Man Stars Along The Way Format: 2LP/CDArtist: Pattern-Seeking AnimalsRelease Date: July 5, 2019
