Patterns by Stacy Clark


While everyone has been at home and out and about preparing for what was Thanksgiving and now for Christmas, individuals around the world have been anticipating other things. For Indie artist, Stacy Clark, it was her third official album Patterns. Patterns came out November 22, from record label One Small Instrument Records.
From what I have heard of Clark in the past, I have loved what I have heard. The very first song I heard by her was "Empty Bottles" (featuring Aaron Marsh) on her second album, Apples & Oranges. With her new album, I was left completely awestruck. In every song, her voice is angelic in many different ways. My particular favorites were "Lose My Mind" and "Decimals and Music Notes." One thing that I found surprising was how short the album is. Still very good, all in all. One thing I cannot help when listening to this album, is how much it reminds me of State's Line 'Em Up EP. I cannot figure out why they remind me of each other but they do. I've read elsewhere where she is related most to musicians like Björk, Death Cab For Cutie, and Regina Spektor. She has an ingenius and harmonious sound.
In any case, if you are looking for some new music, I most definitely recommend this album. And of course, check out her past albums and EPs. Each and every song carries with it a new surprise with Clark's evolving voice. I believe this is what many people need to listen to, to truly appreciate many kinds of music. I think Stacy Clark has done a good job at showing off her musical skills. Keep up the good work and continue writing new and creative music. Everyone, go give her a listen!
