Pitched somewhere between Band of Horses, Foals and Yeasayer, Patterns are a band who clearly have a vision of what they want to achieve. On Γ??BloodΓ?? there is something mildly euphoric about the many-layered headrush of sound and the driving rhythms pushing the song forward. ItΓ??s highly crafted, intelligent music with an electronic gloss; music that both hangs in and illuminates the darkness like the northern lights. Waking Lines is a million miles from meatΓ??nΓ??potatoes indie rock, but despite its moments of shimmering beauty and its attempts to reach for something extraordinary, itΓ??s a record that ultimately disappoints. It feels insubstantial, and at times impactless; by the end the flood has become a trickle, the bandΓ??s grip on your soul loosens and falls away, and the sameness of one track following another leads the album into a musical cul-de-sac.
