Photo By Daisy CharlesThe only thing better than laying in the fields under the "Morning sun" with an "Anonymous woman" is performing these tasks to the playfully psych-induced sounds of Pat Jordache's sophomore album, Steps. Set to be released digitally May 15 via Banko Gotiti Records, Montreal's Jordache provides an eight-track release that marks the first new project from the artist in four years. Concocted from what he describes as "three years of labyrinthine sessions", the project tampers with reverb-heavy psych rock, spaced out Midi-keys, and hallowed vocals that worm through songs like "Paradise O Paradise" and "Migration.""The creative m.o. behind Steps was trying to make something new," Pat Jordache explains. "I think for my previous projects I'd gotten a little trapped with the genre games—writing a song that sounds like Bryan Adams' "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" or The Gypsy Kings and then laugh at the thrill of maybe being found out. So a good friend of mine challenged me to instead develop something that had never been heard before. It ended up tripping a whole musical series of steps [laughs] where we deconstructed once-tasteful songs and rebuilt them using gestures and shapes just as much as notes."Listen to the Noisey exclusive stream of the LP below
