There can be slight movements in the patterns of nature and even in repetitive and angular man-made patterns, the perception of movement can certainly present itself. Those sorts of ambiguous and confounding statements might just as well describe the music of Pattern Is Movement as typical music descriptors. The group is a duo comprised of Chris Ward and Andrew Thiboldeux who, on their latest album All Together, masterfully craft dramatically off-kilter and orchestrated indie pop that is many things if not stunning. It is the inaccessibly accessible beauty found in the futuristic pastoral tones of their indie-folk-tronica. Harmonious vocals chase joyous instrumentation in and out of thickets of head-nodding beats in a way that should challenge the listener but manages not to. Get All Together now from the awesome folks at Hometapes. RIYL: Andrew Bird, Amnesiac, Caribou, etc…

This style is quite amazing. The beats are elegantly constructed. They flow in what appear to be unrelated beats but instead of being disjoint, they add amazing color and movement. I love it.
