Originally a five-piece group that formed in 2001 in Philadelphia, PA, Pattern Is Movement, would -- over time -- whittle themselves down to a duo (Andrew Thiboldeaux and Chris Ward) specializing in quasi-math rock "wall of sound"-type stuff. Their first album, The (Im)possibility of Longing, was released on NFI in 2004, and was followed by Stowaway in 2005. The group then snagged a release deal with indie label Hometapes for its third full-length "appearance" (as it were, being an analog remix of Stowaway by Scott Solter), 2006's Canonic: Scott Solter Plays Pattern Is Movement. By the time of 2008's All Together, the group was down to the aforementioned pair, and the resulting work garnered great praise from many different corners of the music world. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
