Richmond VA soundscape artist specializing in providing mellow, ambient background music for film, television and special events. Placement experience with MTV, VH1 and Destineer video games.

Pat Absent is just happy to be here. But he can't shake his fear.

An independent musical artist living in his hometown of Richmond, VA, Pat Absent is defining his own sound. Influenced by indie rock, dream pop, 90s alternative, synth pop, shoegaze, video games, post punk, ambient music, new wave, experimental pop, garage rock, bedroom pop, art rock, and everything else that catches his ear, Pat Absent's music is the essential outlet of an anxious mind living in these interesting times.

With a commanding voice that floats between the spirits of Chris Stapleton and Thrice, singer/songwriter Landon Elliott delivers earworm melodies and sobering lyrics drawn from his upbringing in small-town North Carolina to his move to Richmond in 2013. Elliott is ever in search of the human common denominator, pushing and pulling on stories with hooks and guitar riffs that call to mind early Kings of Leon recordings and Bruce Springsteen sonics. His debut LP will be released in early 2019 on American Paradox Records.
