Shift

Shift is the first of three pre-release singles from Iain Howie's debut album Patterns (out June 11th). It is the opener and the only non-vocal cut on the album.

Shift washes over you like a tidal wave with huge pads and a steady four on the floor rhythm that is an ode to the slow emotive house sound that got Iain started.

The Shift video is the first piece of an international collaboration between Iain and Tokyo based artist Akiko Nakayama. Akiko is creating a series of her acclaimed "Alive Paintings" to be used across the Patterns campaign.

Patterns is the title track from Iain's debut album released June 11th, 2021.

It was serviced to college radio as a "dual single" along with "Leaf Syndrome" where it was the # 2 Most Added Electronic Overall (tied with Bicep and The Chemical Brothers).

"My friend was recently diagnosed with cancer and Patterns is about how we both processed the news and how it affected our relationship. I went through a period of dissociation, of feeling detached from reality. Thankfully, my friend beat the shit out of his cancer and we remain close to this day".

Lyrics:

You could never get out of this
You might have to sit from the shock of it
Well you can see the butterflies look in my eyes

I wanna see it from the outside
Oh my, oh my

And you pull me in
and you pull me aside
and you know its not right x2
but you pull me in
and you pull me aside
and you know its not right x2

We could never quite integrate
the countless times we fell behind
and we feel it every day

We could be awake all night
All night

And you pull me in
and you pull me aside
and you know its not right
but you pull me in
and you pull me aside
and you know its not right
.
It feels so good, It feels alright
dependable, a bit uptight
misunderstood
and you don’t know me
I feel a weight
a push below me
I can tell when you don’t know
you’re living fast, or living slow
open ends, the summer nights
the jagged patterns, and flashing lights

I wanna see it from the outside
Oh my, oh my
I wanna see it from the outside
Oh my, oh my

Patterns (Single Edit)

Leaf Syndrome was the 2nd single from Iain Howie's debut album, Patterns (released June 11th, 2021).

It was serviced to college radio as a "dual single" along with "Patterns where it was the # 2 Most Added on the NACC Electronic Chart (tied with The Chemical Brothers and Bicep). Jason Bentley debuted Leaf Syndrome on KCRW during his "Metropolis" set on April 24th 2021.

"This track is a reflection on my relationships and of being in the confused, purgatory state of being in love. It's easy to give relationship advice, but once you're in it, you're fucked. Emotions are flying high and you don’t think straight. The song happened quickly for me. I just remember my intention was to write a good pop song" xo Iain

LYRICS:

We forget
And seal it with another lie
And blame it on the other guy
It’s worthless, and not mine

Pieces of my mind
Seem to float on other lines
Keep me from the other side
Will you let me know this time

(Refrain)
I hope that you don’t leave me out of your life
When I doubt that you were spending time that wasn’t mine

When we’re turning
We can’t tell at all
You said someday I would see right when there’s no light
I do if you do but you feel nothing
I can see through you

You say you know me, so why do you fight me x2

(Refrain)
I hope that you don’t leave me out of your life
When I doubt that you were spending time that wasn’t mine
