Art Rock Show – Pattern-Seeking Animals – Friend Of All Creatures (Week 12)

Pattern-Seeking Animals is een Amerikaanse progressieve supergroep gevormd in 2018 door Ted Leonard, Dave Meros, John Boegehold en Jimmy Keegan; allen zijn huidige en voormalige leden en medewerkers van collega progressieve rock ensemble Spock’s Beard

Prog Archives review: “I have pre-ordered every PSA album after the first when i realized how unique and dynamic this band was. And it was also very quickly that I knew that this was much more than a Spock’s Beard off shoot. It is obvious after just 4 complete listens of this their 5th album in 7 years, that yhis is their must focused and concise effort, and just possibly might be my favorite. (…)

Even though its not as eclectic ascthrir previous, its both extremely progressive (Another Holy Grail), and poppy (Days Well remember). Again, its john Boegehold’s songwriting that is the bedrock of everything PSA does. Yes the musicianship is stellar, but it always serves the songs. And these songs have haunting melodies and hooks galore, but there’s nothing really mainstream about them. They are always unique. I have to admit I wasn’t bowled over at first spin. But my enjoyment ofvthis record grew exponentially with each listen. (…)

The vocal performance by Ted Leonard is maybe my favorite ever of hus, of any band he’s been in. Close your eyes and youll swear you’re hearing Steve Walsh from 70s Kansas. Seriously, its that good. And this perfect side ends with Words of Love evermore, a majestic symphonic prog mini epic. Just incredible. I think theyve finally made the album theyve been shooting for. And the first four are great, this one is just perfect.”
