About

Pattern Recognition is a reflection of my life. Newish music as it is released. Older albums found in record bins. Random songs from the internet or found bouncing around in my brain. Indie Rock from 00s-now, Alternative from the 90s, New Wave from the 80s, Garage Rock, Hip-Hop, Punk, Funk, Soul, and maybe some Yacht Rock if the mood strikes me.

Shows

Pattern Recognition

Synths, surf rock, garage, punk, noise, psych, hip-hop, a little bit of soul, trip-hop and music from other decades.
