Brendan O’Keefe’s Cuticle project holds a special place in my heart: his debut LP, Mother Rhythm Earth Memory was one of the first, if not the first, records I purchased from L.A. label Not Not Fun. In the three years since I don’t think I’ve revisited a record as much as I have with MREM, and those syrupy vibes still get me every time. As luck would have it, Cuticle’s got a new LP, and we’re pleased to present a new track. Mind Holding Pattern carries on the vibe of Brendan’s debut, all while piling on more of those slippery synths and goopy beats. “Faberge Tear,” streaming below, is a dance-driven cut off the record, but do not be fooled, for Mind Holding Pattern is some seriously zoned out future space bachelor pad music. Buy it now via Not Not Fun.
