Patrick Singer currently resides in London. His career as a songwriter began in Edinburgh at the age of 11. Recently, Singer released Discomfort Changes, a heart wrenching telling of his personal journey through relocations, changes in career and many other personal perils that were experienced along the way. The album tells of these in an insightful and intimate way, bringing the listener into the mind of Singer to experience these things for themselves.
The album opens with “Sorry.” A soulful and down beat track, the guitar is soaked in reverb for the briefly appearing solos. The rhythm guitar plucks through arpeggios as the lyrics tell the story of Singer recovering his mental health after a jarring relationship. The mood quickly changes as “Unsure” begins. Distortion, crashing cymbals, an in-your-face delivery of vocals starts within the first thirty seconds of the song. A quick curveball from “Sorry.” Discomfort Changes is filled to the brim with these changes of pace, in fact it’s one of the things that gives the album the most personality. From just the titles of the tracks alone, the listener will be unsure if a song will be a shredder or a weeper, but the songs are always crafted with a genuineness and presented in a thought provoking and exciting light. Singer borrows influence from some of rock and alternative’s greatest, and it really shows through the album. Each song is directly personal, but narrated and delivered in a universal way. Giving listeners a sense of familiarity and comfort through his delivery, by the third track Singer will seem less like a new addition to the rotation and more like an old friend. Playing therapist to himself, the music and the listener lets Discomfort Changes come to the listener from a unique angle. Fans of alternative or rock are sure to have a field day with Singer on the mic and behind the boards.
