Patio are a three-piece band from Brooklyn and here are a handful of tracks from their debut album Essentials from earlier this year. Streamlined, angular Post Punk songs done with clinical precision. Sleater Kinney definitely come into the equation. There's something incredibly tasteful about the whole exercise. Like a newly fitted porcelain bathroom.
Although the lyrics sometimes dwell on murderous thoughts, as with the largely spoken vocal. Open, (the best thing on here), you sense that it's something of an exercise and that they're really very nice people. Essentials doesn't really break out into the exceptional apart from Open but it's highly listenable and it'll be interesting to see where Patio go from here. Into the garden perhaps...
