Rule #4 - Fish in a Birdcage

Dirt Poor Robins - Enchanté

‘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.

Beneath the Brine was recorded by The Family Crest, mixed by Jay Pellicci at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco, and mastered by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Services.  These tracks are unreleased. Please refrain from sharing outside your team. 

Beneath the Brine

Pretty Lavinia

From the onset, Liam McCormick, the mastermind behind The Family Crest, knew that Beneath the Brine was an audacious project. But so is The Family Crest itself.

The brainchild of McCormick, The Family Crest was started as a recording project in 2009 with co-founder John Seeterlin (bass). “We were in another band and had become disillusioned,” explains McCormick. “John and I were actually planning on leaving music at that point because we wanted something that in ten years we could be proud of.”

Instead of leaving music, they set out to reinvent how it could be created, starting The Family Crest. “We always liked making music with people — getting a bunch of people together and singing. So we put ads everywhere,” says McCormick. “We posted on Craigslist and emailed old friends from school.” The outcome was greater than the original duo imagined, with 80 people credited on the first recording the band produced. From that a band emerged, at the urging of the guest musicians, who wanted to hear the songs performed live. “We’ve worked with a lot of conservatory students as well as people who just sing in the shower,” McCormick adds. “It became a lot about giving these people a chance to express themselves without being locked into a commitment.”

The result is a seven-piece core band boasting over 400 “Extended Family” members who have contributed to the music.  The Family Crest released its album Beneath the Brine in February 2014 and, just with its previous recordings, the San Francisco band set out to capture a plethora of instruments — including bassoon, vibraphone and French horn — in unique places, such as living rooms, churches and cafes across the West Coast.

Beneath the Brine shows that McCormick’s ambition was well placed. The expansive breadth of arrangements – from dark, classical romanticism (“Beneath the Brine”) to horn-laden sounds akin to the Roaring 20s (“Howl”) — are complemented by the incredible range of McCormick’s voice. Beneath the Brine also showcases The Family Crest’s ability to infuse pop into complex arrangements, with songs like “Love Don’t Go” and LIVE105 favorite “The World.” The album is a sweeping soundscape befitting the oceanic theme of the title and what SPIN notes as “ambition wide enough to swallow you whole.”

Named #13 on Paste‘s “Best New Bands of 2014″ list and proclaimed NPR Music’s “Favorite New Artist of 2014,” The Family Crest is looking ahead to its next set of audacious projects. Paste founder Josh Jackson notes that “Even with just seven people on stage, The Family Crest’s sweeping orchestral pop can hardly be contained…. It feels like bigger venues are just around the bend.”
