PTTRNS! The press is raving: Vice Magazine forgives them the missing vowels, Die Zeit elaborates on the greater topic of funk and de:bug loves it, too. PTTRNS are back with their second album and that is quite frankly a masterstroke. «Body Pressure» shares a dance floor with Hot Chip, The Rapture and Yeasayer, confidently sports zeitgeist, relevance and cosmopolitanism like few other German acts. The boys from Cologne are on a hot ride from math rock via afro-beat to electro funk. And with a new percussionist they’re jumping from instrument to instrument like the audience from one foot to the other. Yes, you can feel that we’re getting nervous. PTTRNS are hot, we’re hot, let’s get sweaty.
