PATTERN IS MOVEMENT - ALL TOGETHER (LP)

Pattern Is Movement All Together On Vinyl LP + Digital Download

Following their first three records, endless shows and tours 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 Pattern is Movement and the music that's been a long time building, rising out of the ether of evangelical childhoods, best friendship and life in Philadelphia. The two met at the ages of 13 and 14 as part of a Christian hip hop group. Raised in strict Pentecostal households and schools, both Andrew and Chris found refuge in their shared love of music and a friendship born out of secular escape turned into a creative collaboration. In high school, hand-me-down church sound equipment and a weekend obsession with making and recording music provided the means for what became Pattern is Movement.

All Together continues the mysterious narrative of the band and it exalts their existence as a two-man wall of sound. In the studio, a range of guest instruments embellish the core magic of Andrew's vocals and keys and Chris' drums. All Together embraces the band's experienced and obsessive recording techniques, yet it holds on to that unmistakable dynamism of their live performance.

Furthering the new album's lore is its song-by-song relationship to a series of old photographs. Found by Andrew's brother on the street in Philly, ten tiny early 20th century images formed Pattern is Movement's own set of oblique strategies. Each photo abstractly inspired a song and its final form on the record, with Andrew and Chris even referring to the pictures during tracking. The record's name also arose from the connotation of this found collection: though essentially disparate, weʼre ultimately all together in our experience. This new vinyl LP version of All Together features unreleased content on a digital download of the album that comes with the LP.
