Philadephia's Pattern Is Movement plays glitchy chamber pop meets post punk meets math rock. It's kind of hard to describe, but it's very lushly produced minus the deliberately choppy samples. They've been previously compared to the likes of Don Caballero and Pinback, and they have been known to share the stage with The Forms...but aside from the hype, is it any good? Hell yes!

A new month, a new batch of thirteen sizzlin' sides for download. And a photo of a monkey in a tux. Have at 'em: Gary Numan & Tubeway Army - "We Have A Technical" mp3 Does It Offend You, Yeah? - "We Are Rockstars" mp3 The Helio Sequence - "Can't Say No" mp3 Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly - "Waiting For The Monster To Drown (Shoes Remix)" [...]
The Good: Islands - "Creeper"; Nick Thornburn has already proven his ability to pen addictively catchy pop songs with The Unicorns and on the first Islands album, but with "Creeper" he may have outdone himself. This song is syrupy smooth, a song of a broken heart with a dance beat and just enough rock licks to appease even the most jaded of music snobs. Its a killer song that gives me super high
Unless you were born with one of those silver spoons, you likely work a day job, sneaking time for your own business when not taking care of someone else's. You're not alone. Every week, Brandon Stosuy finds out how our favorite indie artists make ends meet... Philadelphia duo Pattern Is Movement are about to release their unclassifiable third album All Together . Looking too deeply into childhood influences can get dicey, but maybe some of Andrew Thiboldeaux and Chris Ward's excellently unique sound came from their beginnings: They both grew up in "strict" Pentecostal households [...]

Lineup: Pattern Is Movement, Foreign Born, St. Vincent St. Vincent | Photo Gallery If you've been keeping up with my blog, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of Annie Clark (proof here and here ). I'd already seen Annie perform on numerous occasions in one form or another (see here , here , and here ), but tonight's show at the FU Church in Philly was my favorite because it was the most intimate of all.

We get hundreds of press releases on a daily basis to our inbox. We love the music and the press agents and labels are sending us, truly awesome stuff, but it’s really hard writing about each and every cool band. So I wanted to share some quick notes with you guys while I listen to music. I have to add that it’s quite refreshing to see that the promoters out there are doing a great job sending us music that really connects with what The Plugg is all about. Thanks! [...]
Pattern Is Movement's All Together is laced in slow burning psychic theatrics and musicality; a wonderful challenge to the senses; and nothing less than what we have come to expect from the impeccable Hometapes label. Andrew Thiboldeaux and Chris Ward met at the ages of 13 and 14 during their foray in Christian hip hop. The two are the core of Pattern is Movement, and their new record, All Together will be released on Hometapes, May 6, 2008. While it is hard to characterize such a sound, the vocals sometimes remind me of Eric Matthews, and [...]

Is anyone else finding the resurgence of the members of The Mold Peaches a bit odd? I mean first we have Kimya Dawson participate in a soundtrack that absolutely blows the fuck up, and now only a few short months later we are getting an Adam Green solo album! It just seems a little too crazy to be a coincidence, like maybe the two of them plotted this out to blow the world's minds and then

Who: Lykke Li Title: Youth Novels Release Date: March 4th Label: LL Recordings Thoughts: Some genius once said "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and obviously most people believe this to be true. I mean come on, how else can you explain folks like Starr Jones being married? But there are certain things that can be loved by all who behold them, and that's exactly what Lykke Li's new album
Monday: No Age + High Places @ Market Hotel 9:30pm $8 I saw No Age on Saturday night and this band absolutely kicks ass!

A bio typically is not the main reason that I check out one of the innumerable tracks that grace my inbox everyday. However, when I saw that Philadelphia-based Pattern Is Movement 's two members, Andrew Thiboldeaux and Chris Ward, "met at the ages of 13 and 14 --- as part of a Christian hip hop group" and were "raised in strict Pentecostal households and schools (see Jesus Camp)", I definitely was intrigued. The band will be touring this summer (dates to follow) and if the single "Right Away" is any indication, these could be the cats to see during [...]
