Jacolby Satterwhite can’t be dissuaded from dabbling in new artistic mediums; efforts to that effect will have the same result as attempting to hold back a flood with your hands. Satterwhite’s gonna bypass that shit with ease until he irrigates all material with a compound that’s appropriately salty and personal, which partly explains how the NYC-based artist transitioned from only painting as a kid, to voguing, sculpting, and 3D animating as a relatively uninhibited and culturally conscious adult. He got his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, and since that time, a good portion of his visual experiments and exhibitions have been derived from simple drawings made by Satterwhite’s late mother, Patricia, who also suffered from mental illness. The dude’s work is certainly worth checking out for the crazy and occasionally explicit ways that he’s recontextualized those drawings. Solange knows the deal.
Nick Weiss of Teengirl Fantasy also apparently knows the deal, because he recently partnered with Satterwhite for their brand new PAT musical project. PAT’s debut LP Love Will Find A Way Home reinterprets various a capella recordings that Patricia left behind on dozens of cassettes. Now we have danceable electronic rhythms and several guest collaborators coming together for an arguable requiem.
The new one’s out digitally October 10, on vinyl October 24, and follows a 2016, pre-“PAT” ANTHEM EP. Check the track “We Are In Hell When We Hurt Each Other” below, and pre-order here.
