Pattern-Seeking Animals (PS-A) are set to release their 4th studio album “Spooky Action at a Distance”, later this month on October 27th via InsideOutMusic.
The band is pleased to share the new single ‘Underneath the Orphan Moon,’ a somber ballad that deals with a teenage girl leaving a bad situation. Evocative and cinematic, it is not unlike the feel of a classic Elton John song, complete with a real string section.
John Boegehold had this to say about the song: “’Underneath the Orphan Moon’ is a bit of a departure for us stylistically but still fits in quite nicely with the other songs on the album.”
“Spooky Action at a Distance” finds Pattern-Seeking Animals more confident than ever, approaching new soundscapes and topics, showcasing their evolution, and commitment to pushing their own creative boundaries.
Pattern-Seeking Animals (PS-A) is a pioneering force in the progressive rock genre, consistently pushing the boundaries of musical exploration. Having already left an indelible mark on the genre since their self-titled debut in 2019, Pattern-Seeking Animals weave captivating narratives into an eclectic soundscape that pushes the boundaries of creativity.
Hailing from the lineage of the influential Spock’s Beard, Pattern-Seeking Animals features John Boegehold on keyboards and production, Ted Leonard on lead vocals and guitar, bassist Dave Meros, and the dynamic Jimmy Keegan on drums. Formed as a conduit for Boegehold‘s visionary compositions, the band has evolved into a driving force of progressive exploration, crafting music that is both intricate and immediate.
