Screamfeeder - Patterns Form (Singles 1992 - 2017)

Patterns Form is a greatest hits compilation album by Australian rock band Screamfeeder, released in April 2018 via Four Four Music.

Screamfeeder are a three piece noisy pop / indie rock band from Brisbane Australia.

Lovers of loud and beautiful music since the day they were each conceived, they have been compared to all the greats; Husker Du, The Jam, GBV and The Who.

Comparisons aside they rock in their own unique / sublime / chaotic way.

Contradictions and dualities abound within Screamfeeder, and therein lies their beauty.

For over 25 years, Screamfeeder have symbolised the flourishing independent music scene that sprang up in the aftermath of Queensland’s post-Bjelke-Petersen era.

For the first time on vinyl, Patterns Form collates all their singles, from their debut in 1992 to 2017’s acclaimed “comeback” album, Pop Guilt.

All 24 songs have been remastered for vinyl from the original mixes, taken straight from 1/2 inch tape, by Bryce Moorhead at Zero Interference.

With a renewed focus on dynamics and tonal range this is literally the best the tracks have ever sounded.

The tapes have been in storage since the albums’ recording sessions, and they were sent to Studios 301 in Sydney to be baked to optimise the digitisation process. Songs which appeared on Rocks On The Soul and Take You Apart were mastered directly from the original first generation studio mixes – as they weren’t recorded to tape.

Check out the tracks:  “Karen Trust Me”; “Tower”; “Lost In The Snow”; and “Alone In A Crowd”.

This double album 2LP record set is a 2018 Record Store Day limited edition pressed on black vinyl with remastered audio, housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in Australia.
