PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS – Friend Of All Creatures (2025) *HQ*
Featuring the talents of current & former Spock’s Beard members Ted Leonard, Jimmy Keegan & Dave Meros as well as long-time contributing songwriter-producer John Boegehold, PATTERN-SEEKING ANIMALS have been creating some awesome music since 2018.
There aren’t many bands these days who have the capacity to release five albums of original music in six years… much less contemporary progressive rock bands. For any who would dare to attempt such a feat, one might expect lengthy improvised jam sessions that run long on time but short on substance, and result in an equal number of hits and misses along the way.
Remarkably, Pattern-Seeking Animals have achieved one of modern prog history’s most consistent five album discographies. Their musical ethos is quite the opposite of jam bands, as they utilize elaborately constructed epic songs as storytelling vehicles, all while employing a wide range of instruments from around the globe.
Pattern-Seeking Animals clearly have established their own sound, but on their new album “Friend Of All Creatures” they continue to wield a wide palette of musical colors to inhabit that world.
