“En Plein Air” is the new single from Patio available digitally on Fire Talk. The trio have “an instinct for scrappy, empathetic songwriting” (Pitchfork), continuing along the off-kilter post punk the band has perfected and balancing eloquence and acerbity in equal form. Filled with wry observations and sharp punctuations of melody, the song is a refinement of the sound that Patio were early purveyors of.
lyrics
Control control control control
Is a given
Did you take it all
How deep can it take hold
Aberration
Am I seeing things?
I’m laughing at you, cursing you, and wishing you well
All in the same breath
How long til I get some clearer air?
You’re haunting me and chasing me and running away
All in the same step
How long til I get some clearer air?
I thought being right would feel cold
But it didn’t
Too overconfident
Weren’t you and I in different roles?
Now I’m here alone
Is this what you wanted?
I’m laughing at you, cursing you, and wishing you well
All in the same breath
How long til I get some clearer air?
You’re haunting me and chasing me and running away
All in the same step
How long til I get some clearer air?
Thank you for letting me make this all about me
I can be exactly as selfish as you made me out to be
Hey hey - am I being clear enough?
Hey hey - am I making myself clear enough?
Hey hey - am I being clear enough?
Hey hey - am I making myself clear enough?
Once you start listening, good luck stopping. Banger after banger. Could not choose a favorite song for the life of me. Reminds me of a lot of goth new wave I listened to growing up, yet is novel and original in its own right. Play this at my birthday, wedding, funeral, play this when I'm stuck in purgatory for eternity. Stacie DaPonte
"Just for an hour, f**k everything..." Madeline Link must have been born in the late 90s, yet she's steeped in the indie rock of the years just before she was born. Her aesthetic is so coloured by The Good Stuff that this album could have been presented to me as a lost gem from that era and I'd have taken it as gospel. Fans of Pavement and The Shins in particular will take Packs to their hearts, but there are also lovely little echoes of Bilinda Butcher at times. Beautiful, melodic slacker tones lazerock
