Philadelphia, United States

Following their first three records, endless shows and tours (among them dates with friends St. Vincent, David Bazan, and The Forms), and the transition from five-to-four-to-three-to-two members, Pattern is Movement turned themselves inside out and made the record we‘ve all been waiting for: All Together. Andrew Thiboldeaux and Chris Ward embody the two-man wall of sound; it‘s music that‘s been a long time building, rising out of the ether of left-behind evangelical childhoods (see Jesus Camp), best friendship (kindled as kids listening to The Chronic), and life in Philadelphia. All Together continues the mysterious narrative of the band, both documenting and foretelling the pounding energy of their near-legendary live show: Chris and Andrew side-by-side, hammering drums and keys (among other things), sweat flying, voices hollering. This is what resides in the ten exquisitely constructed tracks of All Together, the kind of stuff that compelled Stereogum to recently declare that “Pattern is Movement deserve your worship.” The album, released by Hometapes, is packaged in a deluxe wood-grained wallet and includes a reproduced set of the antique photos that, found on the street in Philly, inspired each song.

    I'm finally listening to Stowaway and notice that Interlude Two is a precursor to Elephant. Very cool...I wonder if there are other instances of this. Must keep listening!
