Review by Laurie Neilio

Contour Lines by Shield Patterns is a hauntingly beautiful album that showcases the duo's unique blend of ambient, electronic, and experimental music. The album is a journey through a series of emotional landscapes, each one carefully crafted to evoke a specific mood or feeling.

The album opens with the track "Dusk," a slow-burning piece that builds gradually to a crescendo of synths and percussion. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a range of moods and tempos, from the melancholy "Charon" to the hypnotic "Blue Shutters."

Throughout the album, Shield Patterns display a mastery of sound design, creating intricate sonic textures that are both immersive and evocative. The vocals, provided by Claire Brentnall, are equally impressive, ranging from ethereal whispers to powerful, soaring melodies.

About Shield Patterns

Shield Patterns, the Manchester-based duo of Claire Brentnall and Richard Knox, create intense, infectious and incredibly detailed dark-pop music. Debut album Contour Lines was released in June via Gizeh Records and has gathered heavy praise from the press including a five star review from The Skinny magazine. The project started life in late 2012 with Brentnall working alone on a bunch of home recorded demos. A chance meeting with Knox at her first ever solo show was enough to form an interest in working together in some capacity. Just a few months later and the duo were performing live together whilst also working on the beginnings of new material that would finally form the debut album. After retiring to the wilderness and isolation of the North Wales countryside, that album was finally complete. There is a resolutely unique sound to the music Shield Patterns make. A lush, fragile and rich soundworld& like falling - slowly, gracefully, and not without hope, but still falling; a white shape in the darkness tumbling downwards.
