One of 2009’s best new bands return in the first month of the new year with the new Patterns EP and it already sounds like a step up from their Fragile Things EP. The production by Ian Mc Nulty definitely seems to bring some extra light and shade into the arrangements.
The Patterns EP is released on the 23rd of January with a gig in Whelan’s the same night. The first 20 people to pre-order the EP from Road receive a handwritten signed lyrics book. Jamie says it took him ages so buy one.
They kick off an Irish tour on Saturday in Galway with the Isle of Wight’s Puzzle Muteson. Full dates below.
