Splendidly twisty

More about:

Their debut EP Cousin Sam drops at the end of April, and Anorak Patch are trailing it with a third single, the twisty 'Paris Will Be Paid For'. The band say it's a bit of a nonsensical situation, though it all fits together very nicely.

Spiralling guitars give the sense of sliding down a helter skelter very fast, while the  vocals prove that Anorak Patch are already experimenting hard.

“Paris will be paid for is a song of ours which combines pop hooks and more off kilter music. It's at a constant tempo however it changes time signatures multiple times throughout the song. It makes it wonky and the more melodic parts can sort of too because of that" guitarist Oscar explained.

Cousin Sam Tracklist:

1. Intro
2. Cousin Sam
3. Paris Will Be Paid For
4. Irate
5. Delilah
