Reply To: New music – Alternative rock/psych/dark synth by SKY PATTERNS

Good stuff, Paul! I detect a slight “Under the Milky Way” era The Church sound to the vocals, especially in the lower register. The higher register evokes (and maybe I’m reaching here) a slight bit of Ian McCulloch from the Bunnymen. Like Peter, my biggest musical influences are The Cure and Joy Division (I’m kinda’… “famous” for being The Joy Division Guy here in my home of Belize. Ironic, considering my main musical output is reggae/ska/rocksteady. lol). I’d love to hear more pronounced bass, a la Simon Gallup, in your stuff, but I understand and respect your personal musical vision. It’s very good as it is, so don’t mind me too much.  🙂

Your music definitely takes me back to the days when I was steeped in this type of synth/dark/pop/wave awesomeness.
