‘patrick’ debuted as a standout track from drifting.’s ’73 Dame Street’ album and showcases a soft and almost angelic indie pop sound.
Crafted in the intimate setting of a bedroom above Dublin’s iconic Olympia Theatre, ‘patrick’ weaves together dreamy and guitar-driven melodies with cool and collected vocals. The song is subtly colourful and brings a carefully hopeful sound to our playlists. Those waving guitar lines make the track a rather intimate and subtle track that doesn’t so much need your attention, but you need to give it your attention.
A steady rhythm and an accompanying VHS-filed music video make drifting. and ‘patrick’ a must-pay-attention-to. This almost vintage sound and atmosphere pulls us into the story of the track and makes us long for more. Its cinematic video was inspired by a late night in Dublin’s queer rock scene and brings a retro and artsy aesthetic to the single that complements its nostalgic vibe seamlessly.
Here we are, listening and indulging ourselves in a modern love story, wrapped in luscious hooks and thrills, while we feel like we are wandering the streets of Dublin looking for our own identity and other half on a night out that could never end in something good. Colourful, descriptive and undeniably enchanting, ‘patrick’ is a wonderful drifting. piece.
