Album Review: Patten - Estoile Naiant

Mysterious bloke, patten. He's thought to hail from London, although no one's sure. His music is similarly wrapped in enigmatic veils. Like the random splurges of letters making up his release titles, ESTOILE NAIANT seems to operate according to its own logic. Tracks like Drift are densely loaded with drones, machine hiss and sub-bass oozing in and out over so much background noise you're unsure which sounds are coming from your speakers and which have slipped over from next door, while Key embedded literally sounds like two records playing simultaneously. This one's for the real heads alright.
