Brooklyn/LA/Berlin-based trio Patio released their debut LP Essentials in 2019, and now they’ve announced its followup. Patio’s sophomore album, Collection, is coming on September 22 via Fire Talk. Collection gathers tracks dating back to 2021 when the band would go on monthly practice retreats in the Hudson Valley. The album was produced by Water From Your Eyes‘ Nate Amos and you can check out the artwork and tracklist below.
“Sixpence” is the off-kilter lead single from Collection, a clipped, cleverly-orchestrated track with coolly-delivered vocals. The album also features previously-released track “En Plein Air.” “‘Sixpence’ was conceived within an early 70s daydream of decadence, glamour, and self-indulgence,” Patio say of the new song. “It’s about false identities — how money helps us create illusions that affect how others perceive us, and how we perceive ourselves. Inspired by Roxy Music, David Bowie, and the lethargic boredom that remains when ambition is thwarted by apathy.”
“Sixpence” comes with an absurdist music video directed by Ambar Navarro–check it out below.
