Straight from the streets of Philadelphia, Pattern is Movement are a minimalist two-piece ready to release their third full length entitled All Together on Hometapes. After bonding as kids over Dr. Dre's The Chronic, members Chris Ward and Andrew Thiboldeaux formed a Christian hip hop/rock band in high school . They've come a long way from those roots yet the current product is true aggregate of all they've done. Chris throws down beats with the power of Questlove while Andrew loops angelic, ringing bell and voice harmonies augmented by strings like you might find in a Tin Pan alley score. With many comparisons to Grizzly Bear, Pinback, and The Dirty Projectors, this duo is snowballing onto the national music scene. Listen for a bit of Lennon coming through in "Bird" and just try to stop humming the melody!
