Anorak Patch and the art rock post punkery of "Irate"

 

"simon says what is in your head..."

I am old enough (unfortunately) to refer to Anorak Patch as a bunch of kids but, fortunately, not that old to scream at them to get off my lawn. Their sound on "Irate" is brilliantly mind blowing in it's heavy art rock meets post punkery and I seriously thought of Them Crooked Vultures, Dead Weather, Shirley Manson, Sonic Youth and, of course, the staggered half step proggery of Queens Of The Stone Age all smashed together. Maybe the Josh Homme effect feels a bit heavy but I will NOT knock them for this as the track veers off into off-kilter Gothc pop places as well and Christ, the Colchester-based four piece (whose drummer is 14 years old) is killing it.

 

I look forward to hearing their evolution along the way.

Colchester-based four piece, Anorak Patch, whose drummer is just 14 years old burst onto the scene last year with their debut singles, ‘Beans’ & ‘6 Week Party’, the latter of which making the BBC 6Music Playlist. Keyboardist Effie Lawrence formed the group in late 2019 with high school friends Luca Ryland (drums) & brother Oscar (guitar), along with bass player Eleanor Helliwell and have been quick to announce themselves into the UK music scene with national airplay and press.
