Patio, the New York, LA, and Berlin-based trio have entered a new era. The minimal trio — bassist-vocalist Loren DiBlasi, guitarist-vocalist Lindsey-Paige “LP” McCloy, and drummer Alice Suh, have signed with the incredible indie label Fire Talk Records (Mandy, Indiana, Cola, Strange Ranger) to release their debut album Essentials.

Following shows with Pile, Dry Cleaning, and Dehd, Patio had momentum going into 2020. In early 2021, the band began to escape the city for monthly practice retreats in Hudson Valley to work on a collection of new music that would become their new album Today, the band are announcing the result of those retreats, an album appropriately called Collection that will be released on Fire Talk on September 22nd, and sharing a single entitled “Sixpence,” accompanied by a video by director Ambar Navarro.

Collection, was produced and mixed by Nate Amos of Water from Your Eyes — is described as an album of shifting identities, sensory illusions, and deconstructed disco grooves. More complex and purposeful than the fragile post-punk of 2019 debut Essentials, the album reflects transition, conceived to flow from “day” (contemplative opener “The Sun”) to “night” (dub-inspired closer “Inheritance”). New sonic influences like disco (Donna Summer, The Bee Gees) and 2000s New York indie (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol) evoke freedom and euphoric joy — maintaining the band’s signature minimalism, but with newfound confidence.

“‘Sixpence’ was conceived within an early 70s daydream of decadence, glamour, and self-indulgence. 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.” Says Patio on the song.
