‘One More Hit’ is the first single from Pattern Perception’s forthcoming album, ’Spectrum Disorder’. The album is being released on Jack Said What sister label, Out Yer Box, this summer. 

On ‘One More Hit’, some melancholic chords are soon joined by a sultry, aching male vocal. “Day turned into night and the moon was rising,” it begins. As the keys become more pronounced, soaring strings and taut drums join the fray in a groundswell of rising-tide emotion, the vocal a heartfelt love paean that tears the listener to shreds. 

“‘One More Hit’ was written when I was high listening to Leftfield, and visualising the music in ultra-HD fractal geometry,” PP explains. “Beautiful stuff, I heard some piano playing in the background and I was like, ‘This is the best thing I've ever heard’, so had to find out what the track was. It turns out that it was the one I had written a few weeks back! It was the first and only time I’ve ever been able to listen to some music I’ve made completely objectively.”

Pattern Perception was discovered by Jack Said What’s Rob Miller on one of Grahame Farmer’s Data Transmission demo feedback sessions. It was the playing of ‘One More Hit’ on the site that pricked up Rob’s ears, so it seems suitable that — after some in-house artist development — it makes up the first single from the forthcoming album. 

A music fan from an early age, incredibly Pattern Perception only started to produce music himself during the Covid lockdown. “I found it a healthy escape from the situation we were going through, and also realised what a huge new creative outlet I had found,” he says. “I was addicted straight away.”

This psychedelic adventurer’s music-making process is now very organic, channeling all manner of sounds and samples and arpeggiated patterns. “I listen back sometimes and have no idea how I made some of the melodies that I have,” PP admits. “I feel they are out of my control and have been magically pulled from the ether or something.”

“Since meeting the Jack Said What gang I’ve developed a great relationship with them all, and would call them friends now,” Pattern Perception adds. With ‘One More Hit’, he’s now fully on the firm.
