PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS
Prehensile Tales
INSIDEOUT MUSIC
Given Pattern-Seeking Animals’ other life as part of American progressive rock juggernaut Spock’s Beard, it came as no shock that their eponymous first collection blew everyone away last year. Indeed, the group–bassist Dave did enough on its own to capitalise on their chemistry in familiar ways while also setting itself apart from that other outlet. Impressively, they’re back less than a year later with a continuation of that magic whose blend of top-notch songwriting and seductively eccentric but welcoming scores are damn near faultless.
