Pattern+Grid World

It appears FlyLo has reined in some of the sprawling, polymathic impulses that prompted him to get the harp out of the cupboard for previous releases.

However, Pattern + Grid World feels as much like a complete work as its full-length predecessor, from the engine-revving opener "Clay" to the squelching closer "Physics For Everyone!" And this despite its ultra-short (barely 19 minutes) runtime.

However, Pattern + Grid World doesn’t feel like it’s intended to be taken as any kind of grand statement or new direction, but more as a companion to Cosmograma - made up of ideas born from the same mould as that record but that couldn’t quite find a place on the LP.
