Patternist’s “Dizzy” Will Have You Spinning: Premiere
Patternist is the DIY synth-pop project of Portland-based music multi-hyphenate Gabe Mouer, who this summer started a monthly singles series that has included understated electro gliders like “Gone” and “New Fashion.” Today (October 8) we’re happy to premiere the next one in line, “Dizzy.”

Patternist’s lithe bedroom pop is given a tropical touch here with some Afro-pop guitars and marimba, and the song eventually blossoms with a percussive breakdown that’s equal parts twinkling and rumbling.
“Lyrically, I tend to obsess a bit and rewrite entire songs over and over, but ‘Dizzy’ just sort of came out all at once, it was a surprisingly painless experience!” Mouer tells us about the track. “It’s my attempt at writing a love song that also conveys my tendency to overthink everything I do.”
Give “Dizzy” a spin below.
