Pattern-Seeking Animals announce new album ‘Spooky Action At A Distance’

PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS have announced a new album!

Titled Spooky Action At A Distance, the upcoming album from the Los Angeles-based progressive rock supergroup is the follow-up to last year’s Only Passing Through, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via InsideOut Music.

Speaking about the upcoming album, John Boegehold from the band explains, “because this is our fourth release in less than five years, my intention was to shift gears and not go over ground that’s already been covered. In addition to using different sounds, textures and musical styles, we approached the vocals, especially backing vocals from a fairly different angle. In addition, the album was recorded, mixed and mastered at a different studio with a different engineer than our previous three releases.”

The different approach is not only noticeable in production and sounds, but in the lyrics as well. “The subject matter of the lyrics include a Norse king contemplating life while being conquered, an aging seeker on the path toward enlightenment, aliens hunting down humans trying to evade capture, the life of a conflicted soldier before and after WW1, a pregnant teenager leaving a bad situation at home, a reluctant hero victorious in her final battle and a guy’s girlfriend who leaves him because of his conspiracy theories.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Window To The World.
