Patterns are creating beautiful electronic drone pop that makes you feel like you’re flying”  – The Guardian

We never really had Patterns down as masters of Acoustics and Oneirology. Bedroom dreamers maybe, a Mancunian guitar band of course, but with Waking Lines – the eagerly anticipated debut album – this is a band marking themselves out as true scientists of songcraft. With its array of field recordings, samples, original compositions and an epic haze of spellbinding loops, sonic sparks are set to fly from this thoroughly modern shoegaze-pop record.

“The title-track is constructed from samples of bells we found in a local monastery,” reveals singer Ciaran. “It’s an attempt to capture the solitude of sleeplessness and the absurd wonderings of a tired mind. It also serves as the clearest expression of the album’s themes of sleep, memory and loss.”

Patterns’ fusion of head and heart may well induce a dreamlike state but across Waking Lines’ 10 tracks, every note has been constructed with meticulous focus. This is a band who’ve always known what they wanted to achieve – a group who together and individually, have spent time honing their craft not to mention their spectacularly colourful live performances into an entity that’s indisputably Patterns.

“Listening to American bands like Deerhunter and Animal Collective, we learned you can be different and still be a guitar band” Ciaran says. “Once Patterns formed we knew exactly what we wanted to do with it, and recent shows have been a culmination of a lot of things, including the use of visuals and making it a real experience to come and see us play.”

Made up of foursome Ciaran McAuley (vocals/guitar/keyboards), Alex Hillhouse (bass/samplers), Jamie Lynch (drums) and Laurence Radford (guitar/samplers), the band’s unique approach is what has had DJs from Mary Anne Hobbs and BBC 6music’s Steve Lamacq foaming at the microphone. Upon hearing Patterns’ equally glistening and smouldering wall of noise, Huw Stevens picked the band to perform at Swn Festival, Rob Da Bank chose them to play at Bestival, and there have been shows all over France and Spain, not to mention a scholarly hometown show amongst the book shelves of Manchester’s John Rylands library. Already Waking Lines has been a long time coming, but it’s been well worth the wait.

Complemented by an array of psychedelic visuals, Patterns’ knack for transcending both time and space can transform even the dingiest back room of a pub into a star-filled galaxy with an array of shimmering, delicately melded guitars and evocative electronica. Take recent single ‘Blood’ which was mainly inspired by the band’s fascination with aesthetics; “it inhabits a fantasy space and was conceived by trying to express through sound how it feels to watch VHS,” Ciaran reveals. Adds Alex, “We bought a load of vintage VHS equipment and experimented with feedback effects to create fractal patterns, which led to the video and the artwork for the single.”

Abandoning normal recording techniques and expensive producers the band opted instead to record the album themselves. With one good microphone and a laptop they have managed to create an infinitely large imaginary space to express their vision. From ‘This Haze’ which was written eschewing male ‘indie’ singer conventions by thinking of how a woman might sound had she sang instead, right through to ‘Our Ego’, a song about the use of psychedelic drugs in psychotherapy in the 60s, Waking Lines flawlessly depicts that point where dreams and reality meet. ‘Broken Trains’ is an anthemic statement of intent, it’s driven drum sections cutting like razor-sharp shards of light through water, whilst ‘Induction’s ethereal tessellations of sound dance like the Northern Lights through a foggy gauze.

“The hazy nature of our production and decision to avoid linear story telling in the lyrics is meant to create a similar kind of emotional response to the portrayal of memory and the unconscious within surrealist art like that by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali,” explains Ciaran. “It’s like those weird dreams which feel familiar but quite alien at the same time.”

A word to the wise, it’s time to wake up. Patterns are here to open your mind and shape your world.

Good air purifier - make sure you actually unwrap the filter lol
Style: Medium Room Air Purifier
I'm an idiot and didn't realize the filter that comes already inside it was in there wrapped in plastic for some reason that surpasses my understanding (the whole unit was already wrapped in plastic, why is the filter, which is inside the plastic-wrapped unit, also wrapped in its own separate plastic?? As if we need more plastic in the world...). Anyway, I didn't look inside cuz I thought the filter would just be installed in there and I plugged it in and cheerfully ran it for months til it told me it was time for replace the filter then bought a second filter and went tk take my old one out only to realize I hadn't been filtering anything all that time 😅 oops. Lol. So yeah, make sure you unwrap the filter. Otherwise it's a good little air purifier. Now that the filter is actually installed right, I notice it kicks up higher when we cook or do anything that would lower air quality, so it does seem to be detecting that properly! My allergies do seem better overall. It's pretty quiet when it's on low, but does get loud when it kicks up. I'm OK with that since it pretty much only happens when we cook or if I just put out a candle or something.

Not worth it
Style: Medium Room Air Purifier
Disappointed in this air purifier. Doesn't seem to keep the air clean. Air filter needs to be replaced more often than other air purifiers. Unfortunately I can't return this product. Would not recommend this. Buy a Levoit air purifier instead. Works much better and filter doesn't need to be replaced as often.

Excellent Performance and Very Easy to Change Filter
Style: Medium Room Air Purifier
Very happy with this air purifier! It works really well and you can actually feel the air getting cleaner after running it for a while. It’s quiet, simple to use, and perfect for a medium-sized room. What I especially love is how easy it is to replace the filter. No complicated steps — just open, swap, and done in minutes. Super convenient and stress-free. For the price, the quality is surprisingly good. Definitely worth it, and I would buy again.
