In Memory by Patrick Holland
Having taken a breath from the dancefloor, Patrick Holland finds his footing firmly in the club with “In Memory”. “Fast Forward” lyrically lingers on the inconveniences of the weekend over a distilled electro-tech-house beat juxtaposed with brazen gestures that leap out like a well timed jump scare. Taking the same textural approach, “Days” scratches at your speakers’ tweeter with raucous modular riffs and vocal chops. The bass thud and warm synth clusters welcome in a moodier approach to the uptempo skitter, though the energy never fades. Where the A side steps forward, the B side confidently takes the backseat – “Classless Act” maintains the bpm, but pulls for a drunken melodic hook and calm pads for a smoother landing. The title track utilizes Holland’s familiar set of gear – dubbed out chords, hefty sub, dusted percussion – along with a dose of vocoder, transforming shrouded affirmations into an earworm synth lead.
