Pat The Riffer

​I Know What You Want
self-released; 2023

By Dan Weston

Pat The Riffer, hailing from the musical heartland of Pennsylvania, has recently graced our ears with a scintillating single bearing the title "I Know What You Want." From the very first encounter, this sonic gem seizes your attention with an unwavering grip. Embarking on its sonic journey, the composition kicks off with a syncopated groove that weaves a tapestry of guitar, drums and bass, enticing the listener into its intricate web. A brief yet tantalizing guitar solo beckons, paving the way for the verses that follow. With guitars that shimmer like stars in the night sky and vocals as smooth as molten silk, the musical craftsmanship shines. 

​But what truly sets this track apart is its ingenious use of falsetto as it segues into the hook—an artful maneuver that imbues the transition with a sense of purpose and elevation, drawing the listener deeper into its lush and atmospheric soundscape. And let's not forget the rhythm section; they do an exceptional job in grounding the composition, ensuring that the low end resonates with an infectious pulse. The zenith of "I Know What You Want" arguably manifests around the two-minute mark, where the bass takes center stage and the track ascends into an electrifying guitar solo. 

The sheer magnitude of the guitar's resonance at this juncture is nothing short of monumental. This crescendo flows seamlessly back into the hook, and the outro intensifies, culminating in an auditory spectacle that leaves an indelible mark.

​As a newfound discovery in the musical cosmos, Pat The Riffer has left a lasting impression. Curiosity piqued, I delved further into his discography, uncovering gems like "Paranoia" and "Too Much," which are equally commendable in their sonic offerings. It is with eager anticipation that we await what the future holds for this promising artist, with hopes of more sonic delights gracing our ears in the not-so-distant future.
