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
