Pattern-Seeking Animals have shared a video showing vocalist and guitarist Ted Leonard playing through their recent single No One Ever Died And Made Me King.
The Spock’s Beard spin-off band released the studio version earlier this month, with the track taken from their self-titled debut album which will be released on July 5 through InsideOut Music.
Leonard is joined in Pattern-Seeking Animals by his Spock’s Beard bandmate Dave Meros and their former drummer Jimmy Keegan, along with their long-time contributing songwriter/producer John Boegehold.
Speaking about the track, Boegehold said: “Dave and I wrote this a while back from the viewpoint of a guy feeling sorry for his lot in life. I love the bass tone he came up with and Ted's guitar tone is classic 70s. Is voodoo-swamp prog a genre?”
The project was originally intended as a vehicle for tracks Boegehold had been working on since 2018, but he enlisted the help of Leonard, Keegan and Meros to complete the record.
Boegehold explained: “My goal was to produce music that’s progressive and intricate while keeping things immediate and melodic. Whether a song is four minutes or 10-minutes long, I didn’t want more than a few bars go by without some kind of instrumental or vocal hook.”
The album is now available to pre-order. Find further details below.
