PTTRNS are three charming multi-instrumentalists who share a doorbell in Cologne, Germany and who know exactly what they"re doing. Their idea of music isn"t restricted to the sheer production of sound, but instead contains an entire aesthetics, a claim to nothing less than the participation of everyone, the breaking down of distance and the orchestration of a concert as a communal performance: everyone plays everything. Science Pi¤ata is a successful documentation of their restlessness and energy, in its organic immediacy far away from a fixation on technique while still skillful and elaborate. An outstanding pop-sensibility, clearly informed by disco and afrobeat, is worked to give polyrhythmic post-punk-layers their soul back and to create something genuinely new and sincere in the process.
